Transition to Organic Partnership Program

The Northeast/Mid-Atlantic Regional Partnership for Organic Transition is supported by regional lead Pennsylvania Certified Organic.

These efforts are made possible through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP). TOPP is a program of the USDA Organic Transition Initiative and is administered by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) National Organic Program (NOP).

The Northeast/Mid-Atlantic Regional Partnership for Organic Transition:

      • Connects transitioning farmers with farmer mentors
      • Hosts community building opportunities, including workshops and field days
      • Creates technical assistance resources
      • Supports the organic workforce through training and education
      • Helps producers overcome technical, cultural, and financial shifts during and after organic certification
      • Promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion in the organic sector

If you are a farmer seeking mentorship, a farmer willing to provide support, or an organization interested in partnering on this effort, please submit the partnership interest form below.
