About MOSES

MOSES is committed to maximizing an organic, regenerative, farming ecosystem across the Midwest to provide rightlivelihoods for human scale farmers, food justice for eaters, and protect the environment. This is our 33rd Organic Farming Conference. However, we are busy throughout the year.

TRAINING AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES

WISCONSIN WOMEN IN CONSERVATION

This project, in collaboration with Michael Fields Agricultural Institute, acknowledges that 35% of all producers are women, many of whom have been and still are underserved by conservation funding and support agencies. This project works with women conservation coaches to change that.
