Interested in a career in organic certification?

Vermont Organic Farmers LLC and Vermont Technical College are excited to announce our collaboration on an upcoming organic certification training. This training is for existing farmers, new farmers, people interested in becoming an organic specialist for a company, agency, organization, and/or if you want to pursue a career in organic certification or as an organic inspector.

For the past 22 years, NODPA has moved the Field Days to different regions and states each year in order to reach as many organic dairy farm families as possible, especially when traveling long distance isn’t possible. So this year, we are excited to return to Vermont for the first time in ten years.
