A very good introduction to the certification process. Well-rounded discussion. Seemed to address many of the concerns I hear from farmers who are just starting out as organic.
- Day One Attendee
It was focused on how to be profitable and sustainable. Other meetings I have attended don't care if the farmer is making any money.
- Day Two Attendee
Very good info in the talks/speakers. Great networking opportunities with vendors and attendees.
