We hope that you are able to join us on June 24, 2025 at Green Field Farms in Wooster for the OPGMA Summer Tour. Once again, we will be teaming up with the Agri-Insights Conference hosted by The Ohio State University. The first part of the day will be the Agri-Insights Conference and it will take place from 9 AM—noon. This will be held at the Shisler Conference Cente, located at 1680 Madison Ave Wooster, OH 44691. There will be sessions to help you learn how to expand your market opportunities through working cooperatively and adding value to your produce. As well as the opportunity to tour specialty crop research plots with OSU’s Specialty Crop Team who are conducting the research.
At noon, we will all eat lunch together and then head over to Green Field Farms located at 6464 Fredericksburg Rd, Wooster, OH 44691. During this portion of the summer tour, we will visit Green Field Farms, a certified organic cooperative established by Amish farmers and businessmen who value sustainability, culture, and community. You will have the opportunity to hear from the farmers, learn how their cooperative functions, and learn about their fertilizer division as well as visit with an industry tradeshow. Then tour one of their member farmers to see how they make their products.
