Every year hundreds of farmers, ranchers, and gardening enthusiasts attend from all over Texas to share ideas, network, build community, and and connect with industry professionals such as our exhibitors and sponsors.  The conference includes two days of learning sessions, plus multiple add-on pre-conference workshops and farm tours. Be sure to join us for the Friday night banquet featuring keynote speaker, Ellen Polishuk, and a delicious locally-sourced dinner.

The Texas Organic Farmers & Gardeners Association is a statewide non-profit 501(c)3 organization focused on education and advocacy for Texas farmers, ranchers, and gardeners who practice organic and sustainable methods. Established in 1993, TOFGA is a member-run and member-funded organization open to all individuals interested in the production and consumption of organic and sustainable products in Texas.
