How the Email Course Works

Built on OFRF’s well-regarded virtual workshop series, Communicating with Legislators has been redesigned as a flexible, self-paced email course you can complete on your own time.

It’s designed to help organic farmers, researchers, and advocates like you clearly communicate your experiences and influence the policies shaping the future of food and farming.

Here’s how:

Delivered by email

No live calls, no complicated scheduling. You can start as soon as you sign up and move through each lesson at your own pace.

Quick and manageable

Each lesson takes about 20–30 minutes total (including the video and action step). Complete the full course in about 2 hours, or spread it out over a few weeks.

Flexible and supportive

Need extra help? Our policy team is available to review your draft messages or offer one-on-one guidance after the course.
