TOFGA

TOFGA  stands for “Texas Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association”.  It is a state-wide organization of about 600 members. It was established in 1992 as a 501(c)(3) corporation with the original name of “Texas Organic Growers Association”.  A few years ago it changed to its current name to respond to the interest of Master Gardeners and organic garden clubs.

TOFGA is a publicly supported, non-profit association whose members include ranchers, farmers, commercial plant growers, retailers, wholesalers, processors, distributors, consumers, and anyone desiring to support the organic industry in Texas.  Our primary mission is to promote organic agriculture as a sustainable systems approach in the production of food and fiber – a system that protects human and animal health, and preserves the environment.

TOFGA hosts several New Farmers Workshops around the state each year.  Members and non-members are always welcome to attend these workshops.
