MOA brings you the Mid-America Organic Conference!

The 14th annual Mid-America Organic Conference will be held Tuesday, February 1st - Thursday, February 3rd. After last year's conference was limited due to gathering restrictions, we are excited to once again, bring back our tried and true three days of programming that will be jam packed with educational workshops, inspiring presenters, plenty of great networking opportunities, and more to inspire and empower organic and regenerative farmers, growers, and ag-trepreneurs!  

The 2022 Mid-America Organic Conference will consist of three 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.

This year's conference theme is "Leave it better than you found it." As an organization that was founded by a group of farmers knowing that there was a more sustainable way to grow and produce food, we couldn't think of a more fitting phrase. Every aspect of organic and sustainable farming and production is designed to carry on traditional farming and gardening practices without causing more harm to the environment. We know we have a long way to go but every step we take forward in the sustainable agriculture movement gets us that much closer to building a healthier and safer environment for years to come.

Farmers and growers of all experience levels are invited to join us for these three days of learning and growth!
