Organic Week

Organic Week 2026 comes at a pivotal moment for the organic sector. As consumer demand continues to grow and the industry evolves, the need for a strong, unified voice has never been more important. The Organic Trade Association (OTA) remains at the forefront—advancing policy, strengthening market opportunities, and championing the integrity of organic across the full value chain.

This year, we invite you to join us in Washington, D.C. for Organic Week 2026—where the theme “Organic Starts With You” brings together the people behind organic to highlight the role each of us plays in growing and protecting the industry. From farmers and brands to retailers, certifiers, and advocates, this is where individual impact becomes collective momentum.

Over the course of 72 hours, we’ll focus on advancing organic priorities, tackling the complex challenges facing the sector, and creating actionable solutions for the future.

Organic Week 2026 is your opportunity to connect, engage, and help shape the next chapter of organic growth, integrity, and leadership.
