This year at DirtCon, we tackled the Big Picture - YOU at the center of your whole farm, business, and life.  For the rest of the year, you’ll be making executive decisions and getting systems in place to support your work for years to come.

You have a solid foundation. Here’s what comes next:

DirtCon 2027

Grow Like a Pro. Farm Like A Boss. 

Sure, growing is just one aspect of your farm business.  Sure, anyone can grow a sunflower. But also, growing is what you DO. You’re the expert. Your business exists because of your flowers. And at DirtCon 2027, we want to help you level up. 

As you get better at growing and post-harvest care, new possibilities open to you:

• Specialty crops let you charge more and stand out from the competition.

• Shoulder seasons let you sell when demand is highest (and take time off in summer if you want!).

• Land and pest management help you maintain fertility and biodiversity that lead to robust, high-quality product, year after year.

• Equipment investments can help you scale up…if you choose the right tool for the job and have a solid plan to fund it. 

When you grow like a pro, you can reliably fill market gaps.  You can deliver on your contracts. You stop worrying about the cheap annuals for sale down the road. You have more choice over which seasons are your busiest, and when you take time for yourself.

But here’s the thing:  when you move into more advanced crops and techniques, you need to know what you’re doing.  The investment is higher. The risks are higher.  Mucking around can have serious consequences.

So join us for Dirtcon 2027 to learn the skills and systems that will protect your investments, focus your efforts, and help you to bring top-quality product to market. 

Grow like a pro.  Farm like a Boss.
