- Are you considering a transition to organic now or possibly sometime in the future?
- Have you begun an organic transition and want to better understand your marketing options?
This stand-alone session will cover some of the technical aspects of transition, such as the pasture rule, what the inspection and transition process is like, and provide suggestions for starting to plan if a transition is a few years away. Structured to be informal and tailored around the needs of the farmers in the room, pasture and business management consultant Sarah Flack and Vermont Organic Farmers Dairy & Livestock Certification Specialist will be joined by representatives from the major organic dairy companies around the region to outline their individual payment programs and requirements.
Please note: Registration for this workshop includes an invitation to stay for the Jim Gerrish presentation on investment in grazing improvements.
