Are you, or do you know, a forward-thinking, innovative organic farmer/grower who is passionate about implementing organic principles, has proven strong leadership skills and deserves recognition within the organic industry?

The Organic Research Centre (ORC) has launched the search for the Young Organic Farmer of the Year 2022 which awards a £1500 prize for the winner!

ORC, the UK’s leading independent organic research organisation, continually aspires to grow its network in the agricultural community and develop innovative solutions that enhance the changing farming landscape.

To encourage the emergence of a new generation of organic farmers and growers we launched a new award last year ‘The Young Organic Farmer of the Year’ (YOFY), which was won by Ashley Wheeler and Kate Norman of Trill Farm Garden, Musbury, Devon.

Could you, or someone you know, win the YOFY award for 2022? For further information on entry please follow the link below: https://www.organicresearchcentre.com/news-events/award-2022/ 

Closing date for entries is 9th September
