Organic Farmers Association elects new leadership

National advocacy organization Organic Farmers Association (OFA) has elected its next Governing Council and Policy Committee members.

For the 2025 leadership term, 18 Governing Council and Policy Committee Members were elected or reelected to serve organic farmers. OFA has a total of 24 voting certified organic farmer members and 12 advisory organizational members.

In March, members will fly to Washington for an annual meeting to advocate for policies benefitting organic farmers and farms. “OFA’s strong leadership is incredibly important this year as we aim to keep organic agriculture a strong priority for the incoming administration,” said Kate Mendenhall, OFA’s Executive Director.

This is the fifth leadership team elected since OFA’s creation for and by organic farmers to represent their policy priorities in Washington D.C.
