Organicology is a three day event, meant to educate and inspire.  The first day of the conference consists of five different day-long intensive sessions, as well as a half-day round table.  Intensives are meant to help attendees gain a deeper understanding of the topic at hand and walk away with tools to share in order to further our organic trade from seed to plate.  Day two mixes it up with many diverse two hour workshops.  The day of workshops continues our cross-pollination concept, where we are learning about a multitude of topics of organic interest with many different folks.  Saturday, day three, is an organic trade show designed for you to show your wares and information, stimulate the brains and taste buds and continue to network, network, network!  Throughout the conference there are many breaks, social opportunities and celebratory events promising friends old and new, music, great food and fun—all good for us and the planet!
