SUMMARY:Seeds of Success: Farmer Perspectives and Experiences Transitioning to Organic in the Northwest
DESCRIPTION:Are you beginning the process of transitioning your farm to certified organic? Are you wondering how others have overcome the hurdles of certification? Would you like to hear directly from farmers in the Northwest who have successfully made their transition to organic? \nIf you answered yes to any of these questions\, then join us on December 15th at 12pm PT for our Seeds of Success session: Adding the “O” : Farmer Perspectives and Experiences Transitioning to Organic in the Northwest. Transitioning farmers face unique challenges that require technical assistance on a wide range of production and non-production issues. During the transition period farmers must consider financially viable strategies for the three-year transition period\, how to restore soil health while learning to manage weeds without herbicides\, acquiring new equipment and infrastructure needed for organic production\, and navigating NOP-related paperwork during the last year of transition and first year of certification.This webinar will feature three farmers that have worked through these issues\, and will share their experiences and thoughts for demystifying some of the challenges they faced in the process. In this session we will feature three farmers in the Northwest that have built resilience and a dynamic organic system. \n\nLynn Schaal\, Life Springs Farm – Idaho\nTracey Dion\, Yellowstone River Farms – Montana\nAaron Flansburg\, Flansburg Farm – Washington\n\nEach farmer-presenter will introduce their farm systems\, sharing their experiences and providing insights into their approach and process. After the brief introductions\, we will transition to a facilitated Q&A\, so come prepared with your questions! \nRegister here!
