What’s New on the Hub

Over the past few months, we’ve been adding new features based on what organic farmers have told us they need. Here’s what’s new:

Pages built for your region. 

The Hub now has dedicated pages for each of the six TOPP regions—Midwest, Northeast, Northwest, Plains, Southeast, and West/Southwest—bringing together the resources, experts, and grants most relevant to your climate, soil, and growing conditions. No more filtering through results that don’t apply to you. 

A bigger Directory of Experts. 

You can now search over 300 verified Extension agents, researchers, and technical service providers nationwide by name, state, region, or on a clickable map of the U.S. Every person listed is vetted by OFRF and works in organic or organic-adjacent agriculture, so you’re not sorting through contacts who don’t know the difference between organic and conventional practices. If you’d rather talk through a decision with a real person than read another factsheet, this is where to start.

You can now view the Hub in Spanish.

Growers can select their preferred language, English or Spanish, so more research is accessible to more farmers.

A dedicated USDA Organic Research Grant Database. 

Curious what organic research is currently being funded? You can now browse USDA OREI (Organic Agriculture Research & Extension Initiative) and ORG (Organic Transition Program) grant projects and reports directly, searchable by keyword, program, year, or award number.

Alerts that do the searching for you.

Set up a free, personalized alert by topic, region, or keyword, and new matching resources will land in your inbox daily, weekly, monthly, or as soon as they’re posted. Subscribe once, and stop searching the same terms over and over.
