The Find.Organic business directory, managed by the Organic Trade Association, is the go-to source for information on organic products and services. Despite record growth in the organic industry, demand for organic products continues to outpace supply. This directory helps the industry meet these challenges by serving as a tool to forge links in the U.S. organic supply chain.
All current members of the trade association are eligible to be listed in the directory, as well as any U.S. based organic business that exports organic products globally.
The Organic Trade Association (OTA) is the membership-based business association for organic agriculture and products in North America. OTA is the leading voice for the organic trade in the United States, representing over 9,500 organic businesses across 50 states. Its members include growers, shippers, processors, certifiers, farmers' associations, distributors, importers, exporters, consultants, retailers and others. Organic products represented include organic foods, ingredients and beverages, as well as organic fibers, personal care products, pet foods, nutritional supplements, household cleaners and flowers. OTA’s Board of Directors is democratically elected by its members.
OTA’s member organic businesses work together through networking, advocacy, and other initiatives to encourage and protect organic farming practices, and to share messages about the positive environmental and nutritional attributes of organic products with consumers, the media, and policymakers.
