OFRF Press Releases

OFRF has launched its National Organic Farmer Survey, which is conducted every few years, to understand the challenges, priorities, and needs of organic and transitioning farmers across the country. Insights from previous surveys, including the 2022 National Organic Research Agenda (NORA), have guided farmer-led research projects, influenced university and Extension priorities, and helped policymakers direct more resources to organic producers.

The Organic Farming Research Foundation is excited to announce that applications are open for the next cohort of organic farmers who will be leading on-farm research trials with OFRF technical assistance in 2026.

OFRF submitted comments opposing USDA’s reorganization plan, warning it would undermine research, conservation, and farmer access to vital programs.

OFRF launches a one-of-a-kind platform offering curated, science-based organic farming tools and resources to help farmers find trusted, practical solutions to on-farm challenges.

OFRF is proud to introduce the seven inaugural members of the Organic Stewardship Council, a new advisory group that ensures farmers remain at the heart of our research, education, and advocacy efforts. Meet the passionate leaders in food and agriculture who will help guide our organization.

We’re excited to welcome Carrie-Anne Palmeri of Nature’s Path Organic Foods and Bryan Wood of Organic Valley/CROPP to OFRF’s Board of Directors.
