This opening evening at Gardener’s Outpost will include a panel discussion on growing organic specialty crops and an Organic buyer-seller mixer. This discussion will provide attendees with firsthand insights into organic transition, market needs, and building successful relationships. With local food, we connect, ask questions, and strengthen field-to-market pathways.
