October 17, 2019 - October 18, 2019
GOODMAN COMMUNITY CENTER | 149 WAUBESA ST | MADISON, WISCONSIN

Organic Seed Alliance, in partnership with Seed to Kitchen Collaborative at University of Wisconsin–Madison, is hosting an Upper Midwest Seed Summit October 17-18, 2019, at the Goodman Community Center in Madison, WI. This one and a half day gathering will bring together regional seed leaders to learn, connect, and identify opportunities to advance the regional organic seed system in the Upper Midwest.

The retreat-style gathering will include famers, seed-growers, on-farm plant breeders, researchers and regional seed company representatives. The goals are to learn from each other, lay the foundation for grassroots collaboration and identify shared priorities for future regional seed work.

Space is limited. If you’re interested in participating, please email Kitt Healy at kitt@seedalliance.org.

The summit agenda can be found here.
