The Organic Trade Association

The Organic Trade Association is committed to promoting and protecting organic trade to farmers, the environment, the public and the economy.  As a leader in advocating and protecting organic standards, the Organic Trade Association visions organic items becoming part of everyday life through increasing the amount of land under organic management.  The association created its How to Go Organic website to provide farmers and businesses with information on how to become organic.  The O’Mama Report website was created to share the benefits of organic with the public. Annie’s is a member of the Organic Trade Association, and our vice president of marketing, Sarah Bird, serves on the board.
