Interested in Organic Farming?

Are you curious about what it takes to grow under organic regulations? Want to better understand the organic standards or how your current practices might align?

Join our online gathering for an open discussion and Q&A session! We'll cover the basics of organic production, help you navigate the regulations, and explore what organic really means—and what it doesn’t.

Whether you're just starting out or already using organic practices, this is a space to ask questions, share ideas, and connect with others on the journey. Everyone is welcome!

Effective pest management starts with knowing what’s happening in your field. This hands-on workshop focuses on the critical role of scouting in Integrated Pest Management (IPM), with a focus on vegetable crops like brassicas and alliums.

Participants will learn how to detect pest problems early, differentiate pest damage from disease or environmental stress, and practice pest ID. The evening will include interactive discussions, live scouting demonstrations, and group exercises to build your skills in the field.
