Introducing our Organizational Members
The Organic Fruit Growers Association (and previously OTFA) has been connecting fruit growers with each other since 2004. We have a helpful community where growers discuss issues, challenges, and successes related to fruit growing, we share information about tools, methods, and opportunities. We help each other with operations management, grant application, and marketing.
As we go through the seasons, planning, pruning, planting, caring for the soil and our trees, bushes, canes, or runners, we often take advantage of products and services offered by other not-for-profit organizations and businesses, and we share our experiences, make recommendations to other growers.
We are excited to finally connect those who support our industry with our growers more directly through our organizational membership option. Check out the below providers, recommended by growers like you!
