Complete the Organic Farmer Input Survey today to share your preferred input suppliers. The information you provide will help us develop a resource directory of organic input suppliers in the Southeast— with your help, small-scale, sustainable farmers like you will be able to more easily access and use organic production supplies.

Complete the Survey Here: https://www.tfaforms.com/5215138

Estimated time to complete: 5 minutes.

We are specifically interested in where you purchase inputs locally (e.g., farm supply stores, cooperatives, or distributors), not products ordered online for shipment.

This voluntary survey is a project of the Southeast Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP). This survey is being administered and compiled by the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association (CFSA). For questions about this survey, please email [email protected] or call (919) 542-2402.

Applications are open for the third year of the Root and Bloom Fellowship, an advocacy and power-building educational opportunity for farmers across the country!

Fellows will dive deep into the roots of federal agriculture policy and uncover how it shapes the landscape for young and BIPOC farmers nationwide. Fellows will then apply that understanding to how policy shows up as real-world impacts in their own communities through pursuing leadership positions on a board, advisory council, etc. This fellowship will take place (virtually) over 9 months, from September 2026 - June 2027, and fellows will receive a stipend for their time.

Applications are open until May 6th, 2025. Learn more and apply here: https://www.youngfarmers.org/root-and-bloom-fellowship/
