Missouri Organic Association and Show Me Hemp have combined efforts to bring you three days of programming in 2021!
Our partnership with Show Me Hemp Association (and other interested associations, organizations and institutions) will allow us to continue to provide our conference attendees with dynamic and relevant programming as the agriculture industry evolves, despite the challenges presented by the events of 2020.
The Show Me Hemp Conference will be held Monday, March 1st and will consist of programming focused on opportunities for growers and businesses in the hemp industry to network and share ideas. Monday evening will also feature a special "One Voice 4 Ag" reception with Missouri state legislators so that you can share what policy matters most to you as an organic or specialty producer.
The 13th annual Mid-America Organic Conference will be held Tuesday, March 2nd and Wednesday, March 3rd. There will be experienced speakers, notable workshops and roundtable discussions within a more intimate setting than our usual conference. Programming will be organized in a single track within our Exhibit Hall in the Magnolia Ballroom, with break out sessions and receptions held upstairs in the Bella Vista room. These changes will maximize our networking opportunities and keep you from missing out on your favorite presenters.
With these new changes, there are many ways to join! You can choose to register for all three days, each individual conference or join us virtually. Find links below to guide you to registration!
MOA will be making adjustments for our 2021 conference by limiting participants in person, providing physical barriers between vendor booths, adhering to our location's covid safety guidelines and providing virtual alternatives. Sign up for our mailing list to receive the latest updates or send us an email at info@moaorganic.org.
Thank you for your patience during these uncertain times!

MOA brings you the Mid-America Organic Conference!
With a mission to inspire and empower organic and regenerative farmers, growers, and ag-trepreneurs, MOA has organized 2-DAYS of Programming for farmers & growers, large and small.
The 2021 Mid-America Organic Conference consists of two days filled with national speakers, educational workshops, and networking opportunities to connect farmers across the state. The goal of the conference is to help educate farmers and producers on the value and importance of learning organic principles of production for specialty crops that preserve natural resources and add value to their farming operations. We also strive to educate beginning and existing farmers on successful business practices, including methods of direct marketing, wholesale marketing, and value-added marketing of organic and sustainably grown specialty crops.
Farmers and growers of all experience levels are invited to join us for these two days of learning and growth! Our attendees consistently tell us how much they value the opportunity to speak and learn with other producers in their industry, region and specialty.
