Organic Farmer Storytelling Resources
Tools and support to help you tell your farm’s story, connect with customers, and share the value of organic
The Organic Farmer Storytelling technical assistance project was created to help farmers make their businesses stand out and build trust with buyers and consumers, because farmer stories are the most powerful tool we have for shifting consumer demand toward a domestic, organic supply chain. You already have the stories. You just need the guidance and tools for sharing them effectively!
Upcoming Story Lab Workshops
A 90-minute hands-on workshop session designed to help organic farmers tell their farm story clearly, confidently, and in their own voice so they can grow their business and help others understand what organic is and why they should buy organic.
