Organic Discussion Meetings

January 12, 2017


Fay Benson & Abbie Teeter will host 3 lunch meetings on January 12th, February 2nd, and February 23rd to bring farmers together to discuss their successes and challenges this past year.

In organic production there hasn't been as much research on farming practices so farmers rely on sharing their experience with each other to improve their businesses.

During the first meeting, the participants will choose from recorded videos to watch over a lunch of soup and sandwiches with a discussion to follow. We hope this discussion will set the topics for subsequent meetings.

All meetings will be 11:30am to 2:00pmThere will be a light lunch at each meeting. Participants are asked to bring $5 to cover lunch. Please register by calling Jen Atkinson at 607.391.2662 or email jma358@cornell.edu
