Organic Week 2026 comes at a pivotal moment for the organic sector. As consumer demand continues to grow and the industry evolves, the need for a strong, unified voice has never been more important. The Organic Trade Association (OTA) remains at the forefront—advancing policy, strengthening market opportunities, and championing the integrity of organic across the full value chain.

This year, we invite you to join us in Washington, D.C. at the historic Willard Intercontinental for Organic Week 2026—where the theme “Organic Starts With You” brings together the people behind organic to highlight the role each of us plays in growing and protecting the industry. From farmers and brands to retailers, certifiers, and advocates, this is where individual impact becomes collective momentum.

Over the course of 72 hours, we’ll focus on advancing organic priorities, advocacy, tackling the complex challenges facing the sector, and creating actionable solutions for the future.

Organic Week 2026 is your opportunity to connect, engage, and help shape the next chapter of organic growth, integrity, and leadership.

What to Expect:

• Organic Starts With You: This year’s theme highlights the people behind organic and the role each of us plays in advancing the industry. From farmers and businesses to retailers and advocates, Organic Week brings the full value chain together to showcase how individual actions drive collective impact.
• Advocacy and Action: Join us for Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill to make your voice heard. Together, we will champion policies that support organic farmers, strengthen the integrity of the USDA Organic seal, and ensure continued growth of the organic sector.
• Mainstage and Breakout Sessions: Engage in expert-led sessions exploring the most pressing topics in organic—from market growth and consumer trends to supply chain challenges, fraud prevention, and investment in organic research and innovation.
• Networking and Collaboration: Organic Week creates space for meaningful connection across the supply chain. Connect with farmers, brands, retailers, policymakers, and industry leaders to exchange ideas, build partnerships, and align on the future of organic.
• Organic Leadership Awards: Celebrate the individuals and organizations leading the way in organic—driving progress, innovation, and impact across the industry.

The Momentum Behind Organic Starts With You:

The organic sector continues to demonstrate strong, sustained growth—driven by consumer demand for health, transparency, and trust. According to the latest Organic Market Report, U.S. organic sales reached $76.6 billion in 2025, growing at 6.8%—double the rate of the overall marketplace.

From fresh produce and grocery to dairy, beverages, and emerging categories, organic remains a standout in a crowded landscape. The USDA Organic seal continues to be one of the most trusted labels, helping consumers make confident choices for their families and the planet.

This momentum doesn’t happen by accident—it’s the result of the people behind organic. From farmers and businesses to retailers, certifiers, and advocates, every role across the value chain contributes to the strength and success of the industry.

That’s why this year’s theme, Organic Starts With You, is at the center of Organic Week 2026. Together, we’ll build on this momentum—aligning on priorities, strengthening our shared voice, and shaping what comes next for organic.
