Your Membership Does More Than You Might Think
Every renewal strengthens the work, the movement, and the mission. Ready to pick up where you left off? Renewal takes only a minute.
OFA and its members recently…
- Secured support during our annual Farmer Fly-In for the Organic Import Verification Act (S.1398) from Senator Grassley (IA)
- Had the Organic Dairy Data Collection Act (H.R.4110) introduced as a direct result of OFA’s Dairy Farmer Workgroup’s efforts in the House Farm Bill draft
- Advocated successfully for an extension of crop insurance protections for beginning farmers through the Crop Insurance for Future Farmers Act, included in the HR1 bill
Here’s what your membership makes possible:
- Educating the people who make the decisions. Members of congress often don’t know what organic farming entails, why it’s different, or why it matters. OFA is there explaining the unique challenges organic farmers face, why consumer demand for organic food is growing, and why that deserves policy support.
- Keeping farmers informed when it matters most. Policy changes are happening fast. OFA tracks what’s changing and gets that information directly to farmers so they can plan, respond, and advocate for their farms.
- Driving farmer-led solutions. OFA hosts farmer workgroups, brings farmers to Capitol Hill to meet their policymakers, and operates a farmer helpline so farmers can get real answers to real problems.
Membership isn’t just a donation. It’s about farmers and supporters coming together to have their voices heard!
