Happening at Marbleseed 2025

Learn and grow with a workshop

We will kick off the conference on Thursday with focused half-day sessions giving farmers the opportunity to go in-depth into a specific topic. Session focuses this year are produce, fruit, grazing, field crops, local food, and policy. Farmers will then get to attend sessions between Friday and Saturday with topics ranging from livestock management, marketing, on-farm research, organic certification, and much more!

Prioritize what’s important at a farmer summit

Prioritizing self-organizing, farmer summits have no strict pre-defined agenda. Guided by a facilitator, farmers collaboratively build an agenda based on the theme in real time, allowing them to freely explore topics driven by their curiosity, needs, and expertise. These half-day summits will take place Friday afternoon. This year’s themes are:

  • Land Access & Capital
  • Climate Mitigation: Seeds & Breeds
  • Organic is Regenerative
  • The Right Scale for Your Farm
  • Livestock Value Chains

Tradeshow

Featuring 150+ exhibitors including buyers, suppliers, service providers, ag agencies, nonprofits, and more. See familiar faces and make exciting new connections!
