In honor of its 75th anniversary, the rodaleinstitute is asking folks to share why they choose organic goods or practices.
There are so many reasons we choose to farm organically, but at the root of them all is HEALTH. Organic practices support the health of every living thing in an ecosystem - from the microorganisms in the soil, to the plant life and wildlife around us, our farm animals, staff, family, and every person in our community near and far.
Our organic practices inform not just our business and who we are as farmers, but also who we are as parents, neighbors, educators, consumers, and everything in between.
Now it’s your turn. Why does choosing organic matter to you?

The Past 75 Years
In 1947, J.I. Rodale founded the Soil and Health Foundation, later to be renamed Rodale Institute. From the very beginning, he knew that farming practices focused on cultivating healthy soil would lead to healthier foods, and ultimately, healthier people too.
In those early days, J.I. Rodale’s family farm in Emmaus, Pennsylvania was the site of the Institute’s first organic research trials and demonstration projects. In the 1970’s, Rodale Institute moved to its current site in Kutztown, Pennsylvania which is now home to renowned research projects such as the Farming Systems Trial and the Vegetable Systems Trial, as well as our farmer training programs.
