Michigan Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP)
Join the Michigan Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP) team for a free field day in Emmet and Charlevoix Counties, highlighting both a certified organic farm and a regenerative farm with an integrated incubator farm. Learn about how each farm started and modeled their business plan to both highlight and incorporate members of their local communities. Hear about the different and similar practices found on an organic vs. regenerative farm, as well as how different generations are approaching farming. Learn about on-farm markets, incubator farms, grazing, hoop houses, B-Corp labor standards, soil health, composting, and more.
