Farmstead Membership

Organic farms are the foundation of the organic industry
 
Calling all organic farmers, growers and ranchers: join OTA in our efforts to promote and protect organic food and farming!
If you are a small- to medium-sized organic farm and already have a membership in one of the organizations allied with OTA’s Farmers Advisory Council, you can become a direct member of OTA for only $50.00! Farmstead members receive full OTA membership benefits and a vote in OTA Board of Directors elections. Take advantage of this opportunity, and for less than the cost of a tank of diesel fuel, you can have a direct role in making OTA the best trade association it can be for the full spectrum of certified organic operations.
