Northwest Transition to Organic Partnership Program Accepting Mentors and Transitioning Producers

The Northwest Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP) is currently accepting mentors and transitioning producers into the program. Mentorships are available in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. For mentorship, experienced organic producers will be matched with producers transitioning to organic (mentees), and mentors will support the transitioning producer through the transition and certification process. Northwest TOPP will provide guidance and support for the mentorship, and mentors and mentees will meet regularly on their own time either virtually or in person. Mentors will receive a $3,000 stipend and professional development.
