Maritime Organic Grains Network
ACORN
and the Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada have started a three-year
project to help boost production and information on Maritime organic
grains and oilseeds. MOGN is doing field trials in each province,
offering field tours, providing workshops, collecting growing stats for
the region, and promoting marketing information.

At the end of July 2007, eighteen members of the network went to Quebec on a field crop tour. Take a look at what they saw and learned.
In March 2008, we held the first Organic Grains and Oilseed Forum.
There were approximately 60 people for the forum, and feedback on the
day was excellent. Couldn't make it? Check out our notes from the day:
