- The Organic Producer is a quarterly newsletter produced by the Leitrim Organic Farmers Coop, in cooperation with the National Organic Training Skillnets. This newsletter is distributed to all registered organic farmers in the North West of Ireland, and is available to subscribers nationwide and to agricultural agencies in the Republic and Northern Ireland.
