Organic farming is an ecologically balanced,
integrated way
of farming. It also has a
legal
definition under the USDA National Organic Program (NOP). Central
to
certification is the organic systems plan the farmer creates. Many
farmers find
that creating the record keeping systems required for an organic
systems plan
helps them be better farm managers.
In
this interactive workshop instructor Larry Dyer will explain how
the USDA NOP
works, explain the requirements for transitioning to organic. Participants will leave the
workshop with a
draft organic systems plan for their farm.
