Join us for Organic Day at the Capital! As a member of the Oregon Organic Coalition, we invite you to join us for the 2nd Annual Organic Grows a Better Oregon day on Thursday, January 16th, 2020, 11a - 1pm at the Oregon Capitol in Salem. Meet with organic farmers and business leaders to promote the positive environmental, economic, and human health benefits of organic agriculture in our state. The first-of-its-kind event last year was quite successful and we anticipate another positive and valuable event this year. Even though Oregon is a leader in organic agriculture, we had less than one half-time organic Extension agent for the entire state. Thankfully, because of our efforts and those of our coalition partners, that was just increased to 2 full-time positions (for the first time ever) but we're not stopping there! We will continue our advocacy for more significant investments in organic education and infrastructure. Hear from others, or share your story, and enjoy a free, all-organic luncheon as we promote organic agriculture. | |
