Transitioning to Certified Organic | Alabama Sustainable Agriculture Network

We are thrilled to invite you to McGruder Farms’ Transitioning to Certified Organic CRAFT Event, an immersive experience celebrating sustainable agriculture, community, and the time-honored tradition of farm-to-table dining. We sincerely thank our sponsors for their generous support in making this event possible. Your contributions are instrumental in advancing our mission of sustainable farming and community-driven agriculture.

What is CRAFT?

CRAFT stands for Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training and is a model for on-farm peer-to-peer training and network-building for farmers. The original CRAFT network formed in upstate New York and has been replicated many times since, adapted to meet the needs of each particular place.

Alabama CRAFT includes farm owners/operators as well as farm interns, apprentices, and employees, and aspiring farmers. It builds on past efforts to build community and share knowledge – including but not limited to the Regional Alabama Farmer Socials, and ASAN’s kindling workdays and crop mobs and Skillshare Trainings. Full Schedule can be found at asanonline.org/CRAFT

Alabama CRAFT is supported through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP). TOPP is a program of the USDA Organic Transition Initiative and is administered by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) National Organic Program (NOP)
