MSU announces 2026 organic transition events across Michigan
A statewide series of field days, workshops and webinars will connect farmers with organic production experts, mentors and certification resources throughout 2026.
If you’re curious about transitioning to organic production practices and/or certifying organic, researchers with Michigan State University Extension say this will be a great year to find out what is involved in making the move.
The Michigan Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP) is organizing five field day tours, seven webinars and several educational sessions at various farm industry conferences throughout the rest of the year.
The field day tours include a series of regional farm tours throughout Michigan, including three farms each in Washtenaw County, Berrien County, Detroit and Muskegon.
In addition, TOPP Network Partners like Keep Growing Detroit, Michigan Food and Farming Systems, Michigan Organic Food and Farm Alliance and Crosshatch Center for Art & Ecology, West Michigan Growers’ Group, Real Organic Project, Mid-Michigan Farmer Meetup and others are planning for events to connect farmers in their networks to learn more about transitioning to organic.
