Organic Farming Research Foundation (OFRF) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1990 that seeks to advance organic agriculture through scientific research, education, and federal policy engagement. It funds grants that bring farmers and researchers into close collaboration, using farmer input to shape research priorities and applied outcomes. Through these efforts, OFRF aims to expand organic production and support resilient, environmentally sound farming systems that benefit both ecosystems and communities. Based in Santa Cruz, California, the organization operates as a mid-sized nonprofit focused on supporting organic farming knowledge and practice.
In its policy work, OFRF advocates for programs such as the Organic Agriculture Research Act to increase support for organic research within the Farm Bill, notably through the Organic Research and Extension Initiative. A recent development includes the launch of the 2026 Farmer-Led Research Trials cohort, reflecting its emphasis on farmer-led inquiry.
