Transitioning to Regenerative Organic

The Transitioning to Regenerative Organic workshop is a hands-on learning event designed to help farmers and land stewards navigate the process of moving toward regenerative organic management.

This focused one-day event explores the real-world decisions involved in transitioning land, livestock systems, and farm finances while improving soil health and long-term farm resilience.

Hosted in partnership with Family Farmstead in Smyrna, New York, this workshop will bring together practical insights from regenerative agriculture and organic production systems. Participants will learn how soil health principles can guide the transition process while maintaining productivity, profitability, and ecological balance.

Designed for farmers, ranchers, homesteaders, and land managers, this event provides practical guidance on how to move toward regenerative organic systems while strengthening the economic and ecological future of their operations.

Healthy soil is the foundation of resilient farms and productive landscapes. Transitioning to regenerative organic systems requires understanding how soil biology, livestock management, crop rotations, and financial planning work together.

This workshop focuses on the key considerations farmers face when transitioning from conventional or transitional systems toward regenerative organic production. Through practical discussion and real-world examples, participants will explore how soil health principles can guide land management decisions while supporting farm profitability and long-term sustainability.

Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of the biological processes that drive soil function, as well as the management strategies that improve water infiltration, nutrient cycling, and plant diversity.
