The Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association is celebrating its 40th anniversary.
Lauren Ketcham, communications coordinator with OEFFA, says
the organization has covered a lot of ground over the past four decades.
“We really were part of the movement to create an organic
label and a federal organic program,” she says. “We started with just a handful
of members and in the time since we were founded there’s been such a sea change
and it’s pretty exciting to look back and see where we fit in to all that
progress.”
She tells Brownfield this year’s conference theme – Just
Farming: The Path Before Us – sets the tone for the future of the organization.
