SSGA will be holding its first Fork to Farm Day on Friday, June 10 at the historic Oliver Kelley Farm near Elk River, Minnesota, and is inviting farmers who grow identity preserved and non-GMO crops to join us for this special event.
Fork to Farm Day provides opportunities to connect IP growers with each other, as well with foreign buyers who will be interested to hear about your farms and your identity preserved practices. Those buyers are joining the event after participating in Northern Crops Institute’s Food Grade Soybean Procurement Course. SSGA has helped recruit participants to that course and is also assisting ASA WISHH, which is bringing in a group from Myanmar.
