Connecticut’s certified organic farmers work hard to grow food with integrity — and customers want to understand what makes your operation (and your products) different. On March 2, the Connecticut Department of Agriculture’s CT Grown Academy will host a focused session on Marketing & Branding Support for Certified Organic Producers, designed to help you strengthen how you show up online and in-market.
CT Grown Academy is a free educational series designed to help Connecticut farmers and agricultural producers improve their marketing and digital presence, helping them to connect more effectively with consumers. This webinar continues that mission with practical, organic-specific guidance you can apply right away.
Spring is a critical season for Connecticut farms. It’s when customers begin planning where they will shop, visit, and buy local for the months ahead. How you promote your farm right now can shape your entire season.
To support farmers statewide, CT Grown Organic is hosting a live, free webinar through CT Grown Academy focused on practical ways to promote your farm for spring.
