Impact Plan 2025-2030

Our Vision for Transforming Our Food System

MOFGA’s vision is a future where local organic farming nourishes all people, and sustains thriving ecosystems, healthy communities, and fair economies. We will accomplish this through our mission to transform our food system by supporting farmers, empowering people to feed their communities, and advocating for an organic future.

Since its founding in 1971, MOFGA’s work has had an outsized impact on Maine’s food system. Our five-year strategic plan outlines increased opportunities to achieve our mission by supporting farmers, empowering people to feed their communities, and advocating for an organic future. Building upon 53 years of leadership, this plan reflects our commitment to address the urgent challenges facing farmers, the environment, and our communities today. By focusing on education, advocacy, connection, and organizational sustainability, MOFGA aims to drive systemic change towards a resilient, equitable, and thriving food system.

A Future of Impact and Resilience

Our strategic plan positions MOFGA to build on its strengths while adapting to a rapidly changing world. We are committed to deepening our impact by focusing on four main objectives: Education, Advocacy, Connection, and Sustainability. 

Educate
Spread awareness and encourage the use of organic practices that improve soil health, support biodiversity, and strengthen climate resilience by increasing knowledge and making it easier to implement these practices. Over the next five years, we aim to increase: the adoption of organic practices by farmers and gardeners; the number of certified organic operations; and public understanding of organic growing practices.
Advocate
Promote solutions and push for policies that center organic practices, and provide economic and climate resilience for farms. Over the next five years, we will work to ensure that people have greater access to certified organic products, while farmers and farmworkers have improved access to resources, services, and economic support to farm organically.
Connect
Provide opportunities for people to connect around organic food, farming, and gardening. Over the next five years, we will expand the MOFGA community including volunteers, members, farmers, and eaters across the state and beyond, while deepening ties to organic production.
Sustain
Ensure MOFGA has the resources it needs to continue its work effectively in the long term. Over the next five years, we seek to secure the financial and physical resources necessary to achieve the goals outlined in this plan. At the same time, we will work together to ensure MOFGA staff have the support necessary to be successful in our work.

With this plan, MOFGA can lead the way towards a future where local organic farming nourishes all people, sustains thriving ecosystems, supports equity, and builds strong local economies. Together, we can transform our food system for generations to come.
