NOFA-NY is the oldest and largest organization in New York devoted to organic and sustainable farming and gardening. We are an organization of consumers, gardeners and farmers creating a sustainable regional food system which is ecologically sound and economically viable.

NOFA-NY's USDA-accredited organic certification program certifies over 90% of the certified organic farms in New York. NOFA-NY's The Farmer's Pledge™ program now includes over 100 farms.

Since the founding of NOFA-NY in 1983, the number of both certified and uncertified organic farms has grown steadily, and organic gardening and landscaping is expanding rapidly as well. First as an all-volunteer organization and now with a small staff, NOFA-NY spreads the hands-on know how of organic food production through its newsletter, annual conferences, and on-farm workshops and field days.
