Join us for "From Soil to Market," a networking event in collaboration with Rodale Institute market development team in the Midwest designed to connect regenerative and organic farmers, transitioning producers, and buyers of organic and regenerative food and feed ingredients. This event will provide valuable insights into the market challenges and opportunities of organic transition, market demand for organic food, feed, and personal care ingredients, and sourcing regenerative and organic products.
Attendees will hear firsthand experiences from certified organic farmers and farmers transitioning to organic production, engage with organic buyers and traders seeking high-quality organic and regenerative ingredients, and network with industry experts over a farm-fresh organic lunch and an organic ice cream social. Additionally, vendors will be available to share resources on the transition to organic farming, certification, and regenerative organic agriculture best practices.
Whether you are a seasoned organic farmer, a buyer looking to source regenerative ingredients, or a producer exploring the transition, this event will offer valuable connections, knowledge, and market insights to support your journey.
