Farm Associations

The Midwest Organic & Sustainable Education Service (MOSES,) is a 501(c)3 education-outreach organization working to promote sustainable and organic agriculture. MOSES serves farmers striving to produce high-quality, healthful food using organic & sustainable techniques. These farmers produce more than just food: they support thriving ecosystems and vibrant rural communities.

The Michigan Organic Food and Farm Alliance (MOFFA) was organized in 1992 as a non-profit organization. We work to create more public awareness about the nature of industrialized food supply and its environmental and social hazards. We teach 'eaters' to value and to choose organically grown food produced in their own locales. MOFFA is a force for generating public awareness about the need for more decentralized food systems that allow for greater participation and choice on the part of all citizens.

Founded in 1971, the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) has grown from a loose affiliation of farmers and gardeners committed to growing healthy, chemical free food, to an internationally recognized advocate for food production that enhances and protects the ecological as well as economic vitality of rural communities.

Garden State Heirloom Seed Society is a membership organization of gardeners, farmers and avocational historians. While the gardeners reap the benefit of eating vegetables and herbs with a superior taste, the farmers have the advantage of being able to offer these same vegetables and herbs to their customers. GSHSS works with living history farms, historical sites, and museums to provide them with seeds appropriate for the era they portray. GSHSS, through this website, will endeavor to educate, as well as entertain.

The Ecological Farming Association (EFA) is a non-profit educational organization that advances ecologically sound and economically viable agriculture. EFA can be traced back to 1981, when a group of California farmers sought alternatives to fossil fuel and chemical intensive farming methods. What began as a single gathering of a few farmers has grown into a series of education programs spanning over two decades.

Demeter is a leader of Biodynamic certification and awareness, investing in and activating self-sustaining resources that make an impact on farm communities and the consumers they serve. We bring these groups together to focus on their most important needs: understanding ecological patterns, fostering Biodynamic activities, and creating partnerships in order to bring about a sustainable change in farming conditions.

CCOF promotes and supports organic food and agriculture through a premier organic certification program, trade support, producer and consumer education and political advocacy.

The Canberra Organic Growers Society (COGS) is a non-profit organisation started in 1977 with the aim of providing a forum for organic growers to exchange information and encourage society to adopt organic growing methods.

The Certified Organic Associations of BC (COABC) is the only government-approved body responsible for overseeing the BC Certified Organic Program. The COABC is designated to implement the program under the Food Choice and Disclosure Act.

The Biodynamic Farming and Gardening Association (BDA), a non-profit organization open to the public, was formed in the U.S. in 1938 in order to foster, guide, and safeguard the Biodynamic method of agriculture.
