Are you looking to buy or sell organic grain this season?
If so, sign up today to join the Organic Trade Association as we host five Virtual Buyer-Seller Mixers as a part of USDA’s Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP) and OTA's National TOPP programs. These mixers will be hosted thru August 2026 to help establish new opportunities for businesses interested in sourcing organic or transitional grains and facilitate new connections between domestic growers and buyers in the U.S. grains sector.
What's a Virtual Buyer-Seller Mixer?
Our interactive virtual mixers target diverse organic and transitional grain products, including pulses, small and alternative grains, and feed-grade ingredients. Participants will connect for 20-minute meetings in a private virtual meeting room to discuss sourcing needs and discover new business opportunities within the supply chain.
Virtual Mixers create a unique and engaging space for discovery within the organic marketplace, thereby facilitating the development of meaningful connections across the organic supply chain. Buyers and sellers will register for individual mixers based on the specific type of grain. Our team will facilitate connections between buyers and sellers and ensure participants have the opportunity to connect in 20-minute virtual sessions with buyers or sellers based on mutually-aligned needs and geography.
So, Who Should Register?
BUYERS (businesses) looking to source U.S.-grown grains - from anywhere in the world.
SELLERS (growers/farmers/producers) of U.S.-grown organic or transitional grains.
Hear from a recent participant:
"As someone who is early in their transition to organic, this mixer was great to make connections and learn where the market is from buyers and brokers actively working in it."
