Organic Grower Summit Accepting Nominations for Grower of the Year

The Organic Grower Summit, presented by Farm Progress, is accepting nominations for the ninth annual Grower of the Year Award until August 31, 2026. This award celebrates visionary leaders who are pushing the boundaries of organic farming through innovation, sustainability and unwavering commitment to the industry. Four finalists will be selected and invited to attend the summit in Monterey, California, in December as honored guests, and the winner will be revealed during the event. The Grower of the Year nominee must be a full-time grower whose operation gets a profitable return from producing organic crops and/or livestock. The nominee must raise a significant portion of their product using organic production methods, and the nominee must participate in at least one USDA-accredited organic certification program.
