Strength comes from the roots, and only with strong roots can we all grow.

At the Organic Farmers Association (OFA), we believe in the power of people to create lasting change, and this week we’re thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity to amplify that power. Thanks to the generosity of our matching sponsor, Bluestone Life, every dollar you donate on Giving Tuesday (December 3, 2024) up to $5,000 will have twice the impact on building a stronger, healthier organic farming system.

Bluestone Life isn’t just a sponsor, they’re a movement builder. With a mission to show how everyday choices—from the food we eat to our financial decisions—shape our families, communities, and the planet, Bluestone exemplifies the belief that small actions create ripple effects of positive change. Their commitment to sustainability and empowering individuals aligns with OFA’s mission to amplify farmer voices (those who literally are the boots on the ground of this movement) to make changes in agriculture policy that impacts our world. 

By doubling your support on Giving Tuesday, OFA will be able to:

  • Bring farmers to Washington, D.C. for critical advocacy through our annual Fly-In
  • Push forward Farm Bill marker bills that prioritize organic farming 
  • Provide resources and support to farmers nationwide to strengthen their voices and their farms

By donating to OFA, you’re standing up for a healthier environment, stronger communities, and a robust organic farming system. Your contribution powers the work that bolsters farmers and shapes the policies that will grow our movement in 2025 and beyond.

This is your chance to make a difference. Every dollar you give on Giving Tuesday will be matched up to $5,000 by Bluestone Life, doubling your power to fuel our mission.

Donations above $25 include a one-year membership to the Organic Farmers Association.
