The National Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP) supports transitioning and organic farmers with Market resources. In-person events will take the form of Buyer/Seller mixers or field walks facilitating meaningful connections between organic sellers and buyers; and via Market Development Workshops with subject matter experts focused on specific market topics. These events are designed for organic farmers, those transitioning, and those who are curious about organic production, and organic buyers. All sessions are free of charge.


Join us for a special series of events during the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association’s Sustainable Agriculture Conference (SAC) this November. The events are designed to build strong connections between organic buyers and producers in the Carolinas. Join Rodale Institute, TOPP partners, Growers and Buyers for a practical workshop to help transitioning and certified organic farmers assess market readiness, understand buyer requirements, and build effective marketing strategies. As a buyer, your insights are invaluable, and your presence helps shape the future of organic supply chains across the Southeast.
