Mission Statement:
“The mission of Valley Organic Growers Association
is to promote local sustainable agriculture
by supporting and educating producers and consumers.”
Our Guiding Principles are to:
Create and support viable local agriculture.
Maintain and improve the health of our soil, air and water.
Ensure the production of nutritious food, free from synthetic inputs.
VOGA Vision
We envision a vibrant community of prosperous, local farms
that sustain the land and provide healthy agricultural products.
VOGA History
VOGA was founded in 1992 in the beautiful North Fork Valley of the
Gunnison River. We have the largest concentration of organic/sustainable
growers in the state. VOGA was formed to support growers, educate consumers, and promote the benefits of sustainable agriculture that provides
fresh, regionally unique products. Our membership has grown to include
small and mid-size growers, ranchers, retailers, and individuals who share
our vision. In 2010, VOGA formed a non-profit arm, Valley Organic
Growers Educational Alliance (VOGEA), to help underwrite the educational portion of our mission.
The Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training (CRAFT) is a
coordinated effort run regionally around the world to bring established
farmers and farm apprentices together for educational training in sustainable agriculture. The North Fork CRAFT Program consists of a Lecture/
Farm Tour Series from April to September on rotating participating farms.
The goal is to attract and retain quality interns and to build a stronger
sustainable farming community.
Please visit us at www.vogaco.org to sign up for our email newsletter,
