The organic farming industry has become a $55 billion industry in the U.S. and there are many new market opportunities in organic agriculture. If you are interested in transitioning to organic farming or are already in the transition phase, this event is for you!

This field day will be hosted on a farm situated near Fairview and the Gloss Mountains. John and Kris Gosney practice regenerative farming principles and produce certified organic, grass fed, grass-finished beef, and certified organic wheat and barley on their farm that has been in the family for 130 years. 

The field day will include field walks, sessions on organic agronomy, soil health and soil testing, strategic decision making focusing on business plans, record keeping, marketing, conservation planning and funding opportunities for organic, as well as an opportunity to have lunch with mentors.
