Dear Organic Farmers,

As I prepare to launch the MSU organic production web page <michiganorganic.msu.edu>.   I am seeking organic farmers who are willing to be on a list as farmer mentors. To be a mentor could be just someone to talk on the phone when a perspective organic farmer calls you or the perspective farmer arranges with you a farm visit and discussion, your call.

So if you would like to be a mentor please share your Name, Farm Name, County Location, Contact number, Contact email if you have, and a list of what you produce. If you like, you can also mention market types and size of farm. This list would be available on the Michigan Organic MSU web page (to be launched by month end). Please call me if you have questions. Feel free to share this with other organic farmers not on the listserv as we all know, if someone wants a realistic perspective and gain appropriate knowledge about organic farming, who should one speak to? An Organic FARMER. So please consider this opportunity to gain more organic farmers and share your knowledge.

 

Thanks for your participation (I hope)

Vicki
