Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA) was formed in 1979 and is a membership-based, grassroots organization, dedicated to promoting and supporting sustainable, ecological, and healthful food systems.

We hope you’ll be part of the OEFFA’s 40th Annual Conference, Just Farming: The Path Before Us, February 14-16, 2019, at the Dayton Convention Center.

Forty years is a milestone, so this conference will be an extra special event!

We’re planning lots of special anniversary activities, which will highlight our history and our members, and reflect on how far we’ve come, including multi-media pieces created by oral historian Jess Holler, a conference dinner which will raise a toast to our founding farmers and members, and a town hall-style workshop, which will take up critical topics, themes, aspirations, and challenges in the history of Ohio’s organic food and farm movement.

While we have much to be proud of, we know there’s still more work to do. Our “Movement” workshop track and our keynote presenters will explore the themes of justice and diversity, which can help shape our work for the next 40 years. We look forward to celebrating this milestone with you!
