Ticket Pricing
We offer registration fees on a sliding scale for the Organic Seed Growers Conference. We invite you to learn alongside us about this format. Each category includes descriptors to help you select the ticket level that suits you best. We hope to continue to offer a sliding scale in perpetuity which requires that each person respond honestly when assessing what level they can afford.
