Programs
Marbleseed’s programs connect farmers to resources, community, and peer-to-peer education helping support strong, resilient organic farming communities throughout the Upper Midwest. We work in collaboration with allied organizations throughout the region to support small and medium-sized organic farms and food businesses. Our programs demonstrate the capacity of organic farming to regenerate ecosystems, build equity in agriculture, and nourish financially viable farm businesses.
