To help foster community building and provide technical assistance to farmers Rodale Institute Consulting Services will host monthly virtual “coffee hours” for 6-months. We believe that the frequency\, open structure\, and small-mid size of the group will be conducive to deep and meaningful conversations. ​ \nWho should sign up?\nProspective\, transitioning\, or already-certified organic grain farmers in Eastern Colorado\, Western Nebraska\, Western Kansas\, Western Oklahoma.​ \nWhat can participants expect?\nLéa Vereecke\, organic agronomist based in Colorado\, will facilitate the meetings. Participants will be encouraged to share any questions\, comments or concerns relevant to organic and organic transition on their farm or in general. The facilitator will ensure that conversations remain focused on organic and transition to organic and introduce more topics as they see fit.​ \nRegistration:\n\n \n EmailThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Zip/Postal Code*\n Register \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nCompleting this form automatically signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.
