Organic University (Organic U) is offered to beginning farmers and those new-to-organic as a virtual workshop as part of the MOA Annual Conference and Business Meeting. It offers the chance to meet seasoned inspectors, producers, and other professionals to learn about how organic certification and production can work for you. The instructors have experience in diverse operations; from small scale direct-to-market to large scale grain, pulse, and livestock operations, as well as experience with alternative crops such as hemp and other oilseeds. Organic U will take place beginning at the end of November and into December.
