I know that y’all are busy this time of year, so I’ll keep it short and sweet! In the Toolbox this time: an expert tip to help you make a SMART plan before you dive into a new market; great news about GroupGAP, new loans and cost-shares and updates to NOP rules on animal welfare; plus, an important survey about how you use manure on your fields.

Cheers,

Karen McSwain, CFSA’s Director of Farm Services and Food Systems

P.S. Don’t miss our Upstate Farm Tour, Organic Production & Certification Workshop, and Cover Crop Workshop all coming up in June.
