Record Keeping for Organic Farmers - How to Get and Stay Certified

Saturday, March 27, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

Bloomingdale Community Centre, 1031 Snyder's Flats Road, Bloomingdale

One of the most important aspects of organic certification is the requirement to maintain records which enable the inspector to conduct a field to table audit of organic production.  This one-day workshop will help you learn the best way to set up a record keeping system, what types of records you need to keep and how your farm operation can benefit from improved record keeping. This course is targeted to producers who are: 1) already organic, 2) in transition to organic, or 3) interested in transitioning to organic.

Workshop instructor is Maureen Bostock.

$50 ($45 for COG members) includes coupon for a free copy of COG's soon to be published book Record Keeping for Organic Farmers, and lunch.
