NOFA was founded in Vermont in 1971 and is the oldest organic farming association in the United States. Today, there are seven independent state NOFA chapters and one NOFA Interstate Council in the Northeast. NOFA's programs work in six key areas: Agricultural Education, Community Food Security, Organic Certification, Promotion, Social Action, and Technical Assistance. How do you know it's Organic? This is the label of the Vermont Organic Farmer's (VOF). This "Certifed Organic" label is found on products grown or raised in Vermont which meet the strict criteria of VOF.

In order to certify that food is organic at the retail level, processors, packagers, manufacturers and food handlers must adhere to a program as detailed and verifiable as do farmers to prevent the loss of organic integrity.
