The organic farming industry has become a $55 billion industry in the U.S. and there are many new market opportunities in organic agriculture. If you are interested in organic farming or ranching, transitioning to organic, or in the three-year transition phase, this event is for you!

This field day will be hosted at Menoken Farm, a conservation demonstration farm, as well as an organic wheat farm, Dockter Organics. We will finish up the day at a networking event that includes a taco bar and hearing about another farmer’s journey into organic. 

You will have the incredible opportunity to learn from Jay Fuhrer and Darrell Oswald and others at the Menoken Farm, Thane Dockter, a successful large-scale organic producer, Nic Podoll, an agronomist with Rodale Institute, and more! The day will close with Jonathan Moser, an area organic farmer.

The field day will include field walks, soil pit demonstrations, sessions on organic agronomy, soil health, marketing, certification, and lessons from those who have gone through the transition to organic.
