OFRF Staff

People are always surprised by how small our staff is. It’s because we create such a huge organic ruckus on the hill, in the field, on the streets, and on the web. Our work for organic farmers goes well beyond a ‘day job’. It’s a belief in the vision.

OFRF Board

Our board includes professionals in the organic industry, many of whom are organic farmers. Collectively, they pack a powerfully passionate organic punch. Please get to know the people who lead with the very best of intention on behalf of organic farmers in America.
