Founded in 1974 by farmers and community members, Oregon Tilth has grown from a grassroots effort into one of the nation’s leading advocates and certifiers for organic agriculture. For nearly 50 years, their mission has been clear: build a food system that sustains soil health, protects human well-being, and uplifts communities.
From launching one of the first organic certification programs to helping shape the Organic Foods Production Act and the USDA National Organic Program, Oregon Tilth has played a critical role in ensuring the integrity of the organic label. Today, they certify thousands of farms and businesses while leading conservation partnerships, farmer education, and policy advocacy that expand access to organic practices nationwide.
As proud members of the Organic Trade Association since 1988, Oregon Tilth continues to champion organic as a collective promise—for the health of people, the planet, and generations to come.
