Growing Strawberries Organically (one day workshop) 
Strawberries are known to have high levels of pesticide residues compared to most other crops. There is a strong public demand for organic strawberries, but the supply is very limited. The Growing Strawberries Organically workshop will help farmers tap into this important niche market. A companion to COG's newly released Practical Stills Handbook Growing Strawberries Organically, this workshop covers important considerations and management strategies to successful organic strawberry production. 
The Growing Strawberries Organically workshop is for organic growers wanting to diversify their farm or improve the quality and quantity of their organic strawberries, or conventional growers wanting to explore organic strawberries as an option or simply to reduce their pesticide usage while raising quality berries.
