The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) certifies organic food and products throughout the State of Maine. It is a voluntary organization whose office is located in Unity, Maine. As of 2016, MOFGA certifies 480 producers and growers.[1]

MOFGA also offers workshops and trainings related to organic agriculture, and organizes the annual Common Ground Country Fair.[2]

Formed in 1971, MOFGA is one of the largest, and oldest, state organic associations in the United States.[3] Currently MOFGA has two active satellite chapters located in Penobscot and Sagadahoc, although members live in every county of Maine as well as many other states.[4]
