IOFGA will have a strong presence at all of these events. We would welcome your participation and we particularly invite members who wish to take a stall at any of these events. We would ask that members consider hosting events during National Organic Week - either at their farms or retail outlets such as markets to raise awareness about organic food with consumers.

For further information on these events contact the office (iofga@eircom.net) or Grace (grace.maher@iofga.org)
