Help Your Team Sell Organic with Confidence
As an organic grocer, you do more than stock the shelves and replenish wet racks. You’re an important link between organic farmers and the people who make choices about their food every day.
To help you build confidence in that role, OGC is partnering with the Oregon Organic Coalition on September 23 from 9–11 AM for a FREE virtual training, Strengthening Organic Retail Through Merchandising, Education & Integrity.
Designed for grocers, co-ops, produce teams, managers and other retail staff, this practical, packed two-hour session will give participants useful knowledge and tools they can bring right back to the store.
Presenters include OGC’s Jeff Fairchild, a retail produce pro with more than four decades of experience, and Mike Dill, a former organic certification inspector, turned advocacy and sustainability leader. They’ll be joined by Gwendolyn Wyard, founder of Strengthening Organic Systems, and Mallory Cochrane, Executive Director of the Oregon Organic Coalition.
They'll dig into what organic really means, from certification, labeling and maintaining organic integrity to working with small and mid-sized growers, effective merchandising and storytelling.
They’ll talk about how to answer the questions shoppers ask and help them understand why choosing organic matters.
Whether you’re new to organic or have been selling it for years, expect plenty of useful information, practical takeaways and fresh perspective.
It’s free, it’s virtual, and registration is open now. Gather your team and join us September 23, 9–11 AM.
