About us
CCOF advances organic agriculture for a healthy world. We advocate on behalf of our members for organic policies, support the growth of organic through education and grants, and provide organic certification that is personal and accessible. CCOF is a nonprofit organization governed by the people who grow and make our food. Founded in California more than 40 years ago, today our roots span the breadth of North America and our presence is internationally recognized. We are supported by an organic family of farmers, ranchers, processors, retailers, consumers, and policymakers. Together, we work to realize a future where organic is the norm. CCOF includes three legally distinct entities. CCOF, Inc. is governed by a board of directors, and provides infrastructure for the certification, advocacy, and Foundation programs, and also supports a regional chapter system for its members. CCOF Certification Services, LLC, governed by the LLC management committee, is a USDA National Organic Program (NOP)-accredited organic certification agency that certifies over 3,000 members in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The CCOF Foundation is a nonprofit foundation that includes educational programs for current and prospective organic farmers through the Organic Training Institute, gives grants to students and teachers studying organic through the Future Organic Farmer Grant Fund, hardship assistance grants for organic farmers, and consumer education campaigns about the benefits of organic.
