About Us

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, Colorado. We support the largest concentration of organic, sustainable growers in the state. VOGA was formed to network growers, educate consumers and promote the benefits of sustainable agriculture that provides fresh, regionally unique products to the consumer.

Our membership has grown to include small and mid-size growers, ranchers, retailers and individuals who support our vision.

VOGA Organizational Structure

VOGA is a 501(c)5 membership organization and is linked with its 501(c)3 sister organization, Valley Organic Growers Educational Alliance (VOGEA). VOGA has a Board of Directors that serves 3-year terms, is elected by the membership and involved heavily in planning VOGA activities. The Board also is responsible for publishing the Directory.

VOGA Member Directory
