Oregon Tilth Growth and Impact Report 2025

At the heart of organic agriculture lies both what we grow and how we connect.
The Power of Connection in Growing Organic is Oregon Tilth’s 2025 Growth and Impact Report, designed to redefine how impact is communicated. It brings together strategy, storytelling, and design to show how connection drives meaningful change across the organic system.
Oregon Tilth is a leading organic certifier, educator, and advocate working to advance a more socially equitable and biologically sound food system. Our team includes regulatory experts, farmers, inspectors, educators, and communicators who support farmers, ranchers, handlers, and producers across the organic supply chain.
At its core, the report positions connection as the force behind trust, stronger relationships, and long-term growth. Each section intentionally links human experience with measurable impact, illustrating how connection shows up across farms, supply chains, and communities.
Through visual storytelling, authentic photography, and first-person narratives, the report centers the people behind organic. Farmers, producers, partners, and staff share experiences that reflect both the realities of certification and the deeper purpose behind the work. From multi-generational farms to national supply chain partners and organic wine producers, these stories reveal how trust is built over time and sustained across generations.
Data is woven throughout to reinforce scale and relevance. The U.S. organic market has surpassed $75 billion, reflecting continued growth and consumer confidence. Oregon Tilth’s leadership in programs like the USDA Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP) demonstrates how mentorship, education, and collaboration are expanding access to organic certification and strengthening the agricultural landscape.
This work goes beyond reporting outcomes. It shows how connection can serve as both a creative and strategic foundation for impact. By aligning storytelling, design, and data, Oregon Tilth sets a higher standard for how organizations communicate their work and engage the communities they serve.
Because when connection leads, impact follows and a stronger organic future becomes possible for all.
