About the Event
During the 2026 EcoFarm Conference we'll be hosting a workshop called Let’s talk about organic weed management! In this workshop you’ll hear from a UC Extension Specialist and two experienced organic mixed vegetable farmers - representing different scales of farming - on how they manage weeds. Short presentations will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A. We’ll discuss organic weed management strategies including seed bank management, favorite cultivation tools, the importance of timing, and what’s worked and what hasn’t worked. Be prepared to share your own weed management strategies, ask questions, and connect with other farmers! Bring a packed lunch and if there’s interest we’ll continue the conversation outside, sharing ideas after the workshop ends!
