Oregon Tilth

Through certification, education, and advocacy, Oregon Tilth pursues its nonprofit mission for biologically sound and socially equitable agriculture.

Oregon Tilth is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We believe food and agriculture should be biologically sound and socially equitable. This belief has guided Oregon Tilth for nearly five decades.

Oregon Tilth envisioned a resilient environment, economy and community sustained by transparent agriculture. Tilth formed diverse alliances across the Pacific Northwest and organized for substantive change with public education and outreach.

As a leading organic certifier, we are reshaping the marketplace by enabling communities to transform food systems through transparency and resiliency.

We know certification services alone will not completely secure social and environmental sustainability. In the last seven years, we invested $1.6 million of our net ordinary income into education, research and advocacy to grow the organic movement.

Knowledge empowers people and we believe in sharing our technical expertise to educate and uplift. We develop programs and services that make producing sustainable food and market vitality possible and then amplify those resources to make them accessible. Since our inception, we’ve advocated for rigorous and sensible guidelines to maintain our food’s integrity. We continue to invest and promote farm viability, conservation efforts, soil health and access to equity in food and agriculture.
