Southeast Organic Center Field Day

Please join us for an Organic Field Day at the Southeast Organic Center on Thursday, September 19 from 10AM – 2:30PM EST.

Participants will have the opportunity to interact one-on-one with Rodale Institute’s Southeast Organic Center staff and team of organic consultants and learn about our research and demonstration projects focused on organic agriculture and tailored for farmers in the Southeast, with a primary emphasis on saffron, turmeric, peppers, and corn production.

This event is ideal for researchers, students, educators, and all farmers, whether you are interested in learning more about organic farming, have an interest in consulting services to transition to organic, or are currently a Southeast organic farmer. Attendance is free, but registration is required. Attendees are responsible for their own meals as lunch will not be provided; however, water will be available.
