The NAFEX Claypool-Lehman Research Fund is named in honor and memory of James Claypool and Jerry Lehman, both well-known and generous fruit and. nut growers in the United States. Upon his death in 2019, Jerry’s estate made a donation to NAFEX which the board has directed towards the research fund.
We are pleased to announce that NAFEX’s Claypool-Lehman Research Fund now has funds available to sponsor several $1000 grants for fruit-growing research.
