Georgia Organics is hosting an Organic Growers Farmer Field Day (OGFFD) on Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2023 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Global Growers in Conyers, GA. Organic Growers Farmer Field Days are educational workshops specifically geared towards transitioning and Certified Organic farmers.
The field day will include a farm tour and an educational session, where Global Growers program staff and farmers will talk about cooperative Organic certification and production, market and land access, and co-farming models.
This field day will be highly valuable for:
Crop producers interested in Organic Certification
Growers who want to learn more about pipelines into Organic crop production
Growers who want to learn how to create a co-farming model
Growers interested in creating a shared infrastructure and equipment model
Growers facing barriers to land access and capital who would like to connect with a local cooperative farm
ABOUT THE FARM HOST
Global Growers is a network of 230 growers who are primarily New and First Generation Americans. At the 23-acre, Certified Organic Rockdale Farm, those growers who are launching and expanding their farm businesses have a cooperative system of co-farming that shares infrastructure and reduces the expenses of land and startup capital. Growers at the co-farm can participate in an Organic Certification transition program, while sharing, leading and learning about innovative small-farm production and land stewardship practices.
