The purpose of the mentorship program is to support seasoned conventional farmers (folks with many years of conventional row crop experience) as they transition portions of their acreage into organic production. The goal is to connect those farmers with other experienced farmers who have previously transitioned some of their land into organic practices who can act as mentors and support for farmers so they don’t need to go on this journey alone.
