Marbleseed works hard to keep the Organic Farming Conference as affordable as possible, while still offering organic meals, quality programming, and a welcoming space for everyone. Registration averages $150 per day (about $450 for the full three-day event), which includes breakfast and lunch. Prices are adjusted annually to help cover rising costs of food, facilities, and fair pay for speakers and staff.
Even with these efforts, the total cost for farmers to attend often reaches $300–$400 per day once dinners, lodging, and travel are factored in. For a farmer attending all three days, that can add up to $900–$1,200 or more, not including the additional challenge of taking time away from the farm.
Your contribution helps remove those financial barriers and directly supports farmers’ access to connection, inspiration, and the tools they need to grow a resilient organic movement.
