The House passed its Farm Bill — but it falls short for organic farmers. Here’s what’s missing:

❌Flat funding for the National Organic Program, despite the fast pace of growth in the organic marketplace, which reached more than $76.6 billion in sales in 2025, up 6.8 percent from 2024.

❌No relief for rising certification costs, even as costs have risen more than 85% since 2012

❌Flat funding for organic research, which effectively means a cut for organic research support.

❌ Missing tools to help farmers transition to organic and reach growing markets.

The Senate now has its chance to do better. This is a critical moment for the organic community to make our voices heard. As a member of NOC, NOFA-NH urges you to write your Senator today and urge them to fight for organic farms.

On April 30, the House passed the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 — the most significant movement on a new Farm Bill since 2018. While the vote is an important milestone, the bill falls short of what organic farmers and businesses need.

❌Flat funding for the National Organic Program, despite the fast pace of growth in the organic marketplace, which reached more than $76.6 billion in sales in 2025, up 6.8 percent from 2024.

❌No relief for rising certification costs, even as costs have risen more than 85% since 2012

❌Flat funding for organic research, which effectively means a cut for organic research support.

❌ Missing tools to help farmers transition to organic and reach growing markets.

The Senate now takes up its version of the Farm Bill. This is a critical moment for our community to engage.

As a member of NOC, NOFA-NH urges you to write your Senator today and urge them to fight for organic farms. → https://secure.everyaction.com/wb-a8pb3jEiwwqDy-QSM9w2

Preparing an Organic System Plan is essential for farmers interested in making the transition to certified organic production. We know that drafting this document for the first time can feel a bit daunting. Join NOFA-NH and UNH Cooperative Extension for a recorded webinar on How to Prepare an Organic System Plan featuring local certifiers. In this webinar, farmers and producers interested in transitioning to organic production will hear from three regional certification agencies: MOFGA Certification Services, Baystate Organic Certifiers, and Vermont Organic Farmers. Representatives from each agency will walk participants through the process of creating an OSP for their certification agency. We'll conclude the session with a Q & A to get all your questions answered. Mark your calendar and join us on Wednesday, June 3rd, from 12:00 - 1:00 pm to learn more!
