Webinar - TOPP Educator Webinars: Organic Certification for Urban Farms - Jul 2026

📅 16 July 2026 – 17 July 2026 | 📍 Online event
Organic Certification for Urban Farms
Speaker: Patrick Crouch
Where: Online Webinar
This webinar equips farm educators and agricultural professionals with a clear, real‑world understanding of how organic certification works on urban farms such as Earthworks. Learn about certification requirements, practices, records, inspection processes, and the challenges specific to urban production.
We will also explore when certification does or doesn’t make sense for urban growers and share lessons from urban farmer mentees who have navigated the process—from motivations to barriers to unexpected benefits.
FREE!
These webinars are open to all, but speakers will emphasize information relevant to farm educators working with Conservation Districts, MSU Extension, NRCS, MDARD, MAEAP, and nonprofit farm organizations.
