Northeast Georgia is home to many small farms that are using direct marketing and alternative production practices to market to local consumers, retailers, and restaurants.  University of Georgia Cooperative Extension is hosting a series of programs to provide the latest research-based information to these producers.  The dates, topics, and registration dates are listed below.

These programs are designed for small farm producers that are implementing organic or sustainably grown practices (not necessarily “certified” organic or naturally grown) on their farms.  All programs will be held at the J. Phil Campbell Research and Education Center in Watkinsville and will start with a meal at 5:30 PM.  Cost for registration is $15 per session or $40 for all four programs.
