But it’s worth the effort! Since there is likely to be a price spread between buyers. And sometimes it’s as much as 10% or more. This webinar will explore basic steps in finding and reaching out to organic grain buyers in your area. It will also discuss what to do once you get a merchandiser/buyer on the phone\, in terms of discovering what crops they buy\, what volumes\, when they make new contracts\, and\, most importantly\, price discovery. We will also roleplay a phone call between an organic grain farmer and an organic grain buyer. \nThis event is supported through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP). TOPP is a program of the USDA Organic Transition Initiative and is administered by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) National Organic Program (NOP). \nDetails\nDate: July 9\, 2026 12 – 1 p.m. EST \nLocation:\nVirtual\, via Zoom \nCost: FREE \nRegistration \n\n\n \n \n Organic Grain Selling: Roleplaying to Help You Connect and Do Business with New Buyers\n Register for our 7/9/2026 Organic Grain Selling: Roleplaying to Help You Connect and Do Business with New Buyers. 12 pm -1 pm EST. \n \n \n CommentsThis 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 Phone NumberState*AlabamaAlaskaArizonaArkansasCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaGuamHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaPuerto RicoRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingZip/Postal Code*Farm or Organization NameI am a...*\n \n \n Farmer/Producer\n \n \n \n Processor/Handler\n \n \n \n Buyer\n \n \n \n Other\n This field is hidden when viewing the formHIDDEN Lead Status\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.

It is created and captured through the markets we build the relationships we nurture and the stories we tell from soil to shelf. \nThis virtual webinar explores how farmers\, food makers\, and organic entrepreneurs can move beyond selling raw commodities to intentionally design value added products and market pathways that reward organic practices.\nThrough real world case studies and practical examples\, we will examine how successful organic businesses have transformed crops into brands’ brands into categories and products into resilient value chains. \nParticipants will learn how today’s conscious consumers make buying decisions where value is gained or lost along the organic supply chain and how small shifts in product format function audience or narrative can unlock new markets. Whether you are selling at farmers markets working with regional distributors pitching retailers or building a direct-to-consumer presence this session will help you see your organic product not just as food but as part of a larger market system you can shape. \nThis event is supported through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP).

What comes next? \nPresented by Rodale Institute and the Organic Trade Association as part of the National Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP)\, this webinar is designed for farmers thinking beyond certification. Transitioning to organic is one step; building a viable business around it is another. \nDanielle and Steven of TendWell Farm will share how they approached that challenge. Danielle will walk through how they developed a brand\, identified market opportunities\, and explored value-added products and alternative revenue streams for their diversified vegetable system. She’ll also discuss a key but often under-addressed reality: while organic can command a price premium\, capturing that value depends on clear positioning and a thoughtful market strategy. \nThis session is a practical conversation with farmers who have navigated these decisions. Come prepared to listen\, ask questions\, and consider how their experience might apply to your own operation. \nThis event is supported through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP).
