National Organic Farmer Survey

Your experience matters to the future of organic farming.

Every few years, the Organic Farming Research Foundation (OFRF) conducts a nationwide survey to understand the needs, challenges, and priorities of organic and transitioning farmers and ranchers across the U.S.

Your responses help guide:

  • Farmer-led research and peer learning opportunities
  • Practical tools, courses, and guidebooks for organic producers
  • University and Extension research priorities
  • National policies, including the USDA programs, to better support organic agriculture
