Discover region-specific pest and disease management strategies from organic farmers living in the Northwest US and an Oregon State University researcher.

Cover crops are one of the most powerful tools available to organic and transitioning farmers, but getting them right in western growing conditions takes knowledge and experience. This webinar brings together researchers and practitioners to share what the science says and what is working on the ground.

Explore the art and science of cover crop management through hands-on, field-based learning to build healthier soil and resilient farms.

Join OFRF and Oregon State University for an afternoon in the field learning about: - The Tomato Organic Management & Improvement Project (TOMI) - Managing Symphylans with Rotations and Biopesticides - Dry beans, cover crops, and other project updates.

Join OFRF for "Conducting On-Farm Research: Takeaways from a Farmer-Led Trials Program" at the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association Sustainable Agriculture Conference on Saturday, October 31, 2026.

Weed pressure is one of the most persistent challenges in organic production. In the South, long growing seasons, diverse weed species, and humid conditions make it even more demanding. This webinar walks through the full toolkit available to organic producers: cultural, mechanical, physical, thermal, and NOP-approved inputs, grounded in the "many little hammers" approach that growers rely on.

Join OFRF for "Farmer-Led Trials: How to Plan, Conduct and Interpret Your Own on Farm Research" at the Tilth Conference on Tuesday, November 17, 2026.

The Organic Grower Summit on Dec. 2-3, 2026, is a premier event that serves as a hub for organic producers and suppliers to come together and explore the latest trends, techniques and innovations in organic farming, now produced by Farm Progress.
