OGI Events

Whether you’re just starting out or have years of growing behind you, OGI member events bring growers together to facilitate peer-to-peer exchange, practical learning, connection and open discussion around the real challenges and opportunities facing organic horticulture today.

We run an annual programme of events throughout the season, including farm walks, workshops, webinars and our annual conference.

OGI Winter Webinars

Winter Webinars

A series of expert-led online sessions for organic growers and those in the wider food and farming sector, providing inspiration and learning over the winter months, whether you’re refining your techniques or expanding your knowledge.

These sessions cover practical topics such as integrated pest management, soil testing, green manures, salad leaf production, selling online and more, with insights from experienced growers and specialists.

All webinars are free for OGI members. Missed the live sessions? Watch back at any time.

Farm Walks & Workshops

Since 2016, our farm walks, workshops and events have brought growers together to learn, share and build lasting connections across the organic community.

Through our events, we’ve built a supportive, welcoming and active community where growers learn from one another, strengthen their business and technical skills, and connect both professionally and socially.

If you are interested in hosting a farm walk or workshop, we’d love to hear from you. Contact us at: membership@organicgrowersireland.ie
