The
Ohio Ecological Food & Farm Association
(OEFFA) was formed in 1979 and is
a membership-based, grassroots organization,
dedicated to promoting and supporting sustainable,
ecological, and healthful food systems.
The OEFFA membership is very
diverse. It includes farmers, consumers,
gardeners, chefs, political activists, teachers,
researchers, retailers, and students. What
members have in common is an interest in
creating and maintaining a food system that
is good for people, good for the earth, and
good for the future. By coming together for
the annual conference, farm tours, and workshops,
and attending chapter
meetings, members help each other do
this in their daily lives.
To help our members network
and stay informed, OEFFA provides to its
members a consumer
guide to organic and ecological farms
and gardens, a membership directory, and
a bimonthly newsletter that includes updates
on OEFFA doings, regional and national news
of particular interest, farm profiles, practical
tips, book reviews, resources, events, opportunities,
and more. In addition, OEFFA provides organic
certification services for growers, and
an apprenticeship
program to help students gain hands-on
experience. OEFFA is also involved in research
and development, farm and farmer preservation,
policy making, and product promotion.
