About the event
This gathering aims to serve Vegetable Farmers interested in learning more about sustainable farming.
THIS MONTH'S SPEAKERS:
Marilyn Firth - Almost Urban Vegetables
As a farmer and mentor, Marilyn can share her business experiences following organic principles (though her farm isn't certified) and explore the concepts, values and importance of organic principles on the land she stewards towards a more transparent food system.
See: almosturbanvegetables.com.
Sophia Partyka - Organic Inspector with EcoCert
As an Organic Inspector with Eco-Cert, Sophia will share her observations and opinions on certification, future trends, regulatory direction, and reasons why Manitoba producers might be interested in certifying.
There's no right or wrong answer, just great conversation, locally grown brews and ample parking for a nice evening before the greenhouse season kicks in full steam. You don't have to be an organic farmer to attend. We strongly encourage attendance from individuals who are interested in sustainable and/or regenerative practices as a whole.
DATES & TIMES MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE!
