2026 Winter Conference
We'll be offering a variety of workshops, covering topics such as farming, organic land care, government policy, homesteading and gardening, food equity, and more, including a soon-to-be-announced keynote speaker. Our in-person celebration will also feature the presentation of the Bill Duesing Organic Living on the Earth award and our members' annual meeting.
Join us in March as we learn, grow, innovate, and think critically about what we want our food system to look like in the future.
Conference registration includes access to all virtual and in-person sessions, lunch at the conference, and exclusive access to all recordings for 3 months after the event.
