About Organic Handlers
About Organic Handlers Where education meets action – helping every handler contribute to a stronger, more resilient organic future.
Organic Handlers brings together trusted guidance to support organic handlers in their day-to-day work. Built on U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) standards through the National Organic Program (NOP) and developed with content from Organic Agronomy Training Service (OATS), the platform translates complex requirements into clear and accessible information. The Organic Trade Association (OTA) delivers this resource to make organic compliance more accessible across the supply chain.
We listen to handlers, then create solutions that work in the real world.
Every resource starts with conversations. We interview organic professionals nationwide to understand their daily challenges. Content is written, reviewed by experts, and tested for practical application. The result is education that actually helps through videos you can watch during lunch, templates you can use today, and guidance you can trust.
From quick reference guides to video training-all free, always accessible.
