Dig in with On-Farm Learning and Trainings
Join us every summer for on-farm learning at Marbleseed Organic Field Days. Field Days hosted by regenerative and organic farmers across the Upper Midwest who are using innovative organic farming practices and feeding their communities. From small urban farms and midscale silvopasture operations to larger scale row crops, we aim to offer field days for every type of farm. Come connect with community and get fresh ideas to try on your farm.
Marbleseed's Trainings connect farmers with the tools they need for a thriving farm business, supporting the growth of organic acreage, generating more revenue for small-scale farmers, and mitigating the impacts of climate change with farming practices that value land stewardship and whole ecosystem health.
Special Instructions for Visiting Farms with Livestock
Biosecurity is important on all farms, clean shoes and clothes are particularly important at field days where livestock are present. Marbleseed asks that all attendees observe the following biosecurity protocols when visiting farms with livestock.
- Wear clean or disinfected shoes that have not been worn on other farms with livestock or livestock buildings, or around a dense population of wild birds.
- Wear clean clothes that have not been worn around other livestock.
- Upon request of the host or staff during the field day, you may be asked to wear disposable plastic boot covers (provided by Marbleseed) over your shoes.

Reflections, Relationships and Resilience—A webinar with Ryan Erisman
Tuesday, November 18, 2025 | 12:30–2:00 p.m. CST | FREE | Webinar on Zoom
The end of the growing season offers a valuable opportunity to pause, reflect, and reconnect—with our work, our communities, and ourselves.
There is something deep and powerful that calls us to farming closely with the land and animals. While the work aligns with our values, the economic, social, environmental, and physical stressors can narrow our vision, blunt our joy, and make us question our sanity. We may not be able to change our circumstances, but we can absolutely change how we show up. Join this interactive webinar to reflect on your season; discover exercises to make you more creative and resilient; and bring more joy and success to yourself and your farm.
Join Ryan Erisman, regenerative farmer, leadership coach, and former Marine, for an interactive session designed to help farmers cultivate resilience and clarity heading into the next season. Ryan will guide participants through reflective exercises and conversations that draw on lessons from both the battlefield and the farm field—helping you identify what’s working, what can shift, and how to stay grounded in your values amid uncertainty.
Ryan raises pastured pork, grass-fed beef, and feed crops in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, and runs Odyssey Collaborations , a coaching and consulting business supporting leaders and growers navigating complex challenges. His approach blends systems thinking, emotional intelligence, and practical farm experience to help participants strengthen relationships and find renewed purpose in their work.
As one farmer who worked with Ryan shared: “I valued the opportunity to talk through things I’ve been struggling with in a space where I felt truly listened to. I realized I’ve been creating a lot of my own discontent by not slowing down and enjoying where I am in life right now.”
This free online event is a chance to pause and reset before winter—connecting with other growers and cultivating tools for reflection, adaptability, and resilience.

Climate Circle Series
October-May | 1 - 2 p.m. CT | Virtual
Marbleseed is offering a new series of facilitated Climate Healing & Resilience Circles designed for farmers, caregivers, and agricultural professionals. Together, we will explore practices for wellbeing that honor elder knowledge, strengthen intergenerational ties, and nurture resilience in the face of stress, land loss, and climate uncertainty.
This eight-session series blends storytelling, cultural wisdom, and practical wellness tools—including stress management strategies and intergenerational healing practices. Guided by Marbleseed facilitators and rooted in the values of reciprocity and care, each gathering offers a supportive space to connect, reflect, and grow.
To honor the privacy and sensitivity of participant conversations, sessions will not be recorded. Because each gathering builds on previous sessions, participants are encouraged to attend as many as possible.
This series will be held 1-2 p.m. CT: Oct 17, Nov 21, Dec 19, Jan 16, Feb 20, Mar 20, Apr 17, May 15
