Monthly Drop-in Organic Farming Q + A
January 9, 2025 - January 9, 2024
Contact: Katie Brandt , brandtk7@msu.edu or Mariel Borgman, mborgm@msu.edu
Join Michigan's TOPP Technicians Alex, Kim and Sam for monthly drop-in office hours to chat all things organic farming. Some of the topics we may cover include:
- organic production techniques--cultivation, crop rotation, variety selection, integrated pest management, etc
- input sourcing--where to source NOP-approved inputs
- cost-share opportunities--certification cost share, NRCS EQIP organic practices
- record-keeping options--templates, software, spreadsheets, etc.
- marketing--how to identify and connect with organic markets
- choosing an organic certifier
- understanding the certification process
- and more!
This will be a recurring, monthly 1-hour Zoom session open to drop-in. No registration necessary. Sessions will be held the 1st Thursday of every month from 12-1pm. We hope this can help support you on your organic journey, and even foster cross-pollination among organic farmers for skill-sharing.
This session is open to ALL organic, transitioning or curious producers, not just TOPP participants.ZOOM Link: https://msu.zoom.us/j/94407160761
