Georgia Organics is hosting an H-2A Employee and Labor Management Practices Farmer Field Day (FFD) on Monday, Mar. 11, 2024 at Jenny Jack Farm in Pine Mountain, GA. Join us from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a day spent on a diversified, Certified Naturally Grown farm, learn and discuss labor management considerations, and learn about the H-2A employee program from Marcus Kingsley, VP of Growth at másLabor, an organization that facilitates farms signing up for the program. 

This Farmer Field Day will be in two segments. First, Jenny and Chris, owners and operators of Jenny Jack Farm, will guide participants through a one-hour walking farm tour where they will highlight their growing methods, on-farm market, and business relationships with nearby farms.  They’ll cover their experience with managing employees and how the farm set up facilitates or hinders their efforts. They’ll also discuss their farm journey with farm workers and where they are today. Afterward, Marcus Kingsley will lead a workshop engaging farmers in the specifics of applying to the H-2A employee program in Georgia where he will review the basics of the H-2A program, its requirements, and what to expect with the ever-changing political landscape.  

The deadline to register is March 4.
