Organic Farmers directly affected by 2022 Floods
Are you an organic farmer that has been directly affected by the floods in NSW or QLD?  The Organic & Regenerative Investment Co-operative (ORICoop) is putting a call out to assist farmers at this difficult time.  We would like to hear from you.

We want to support organic producers as you face your road to recovery from these horrific flood.  We are critically aware of the complexity for certified organic producers affected by natural disasters to retain their organic certification, and we are here to help.  With morale support, guidance and others that have been through bushfires and floods before.  We are keen to rally people that are able to help, with those that are in the direct line of damage, now and in the coming weeks and months to come.  And to work with certifiers where appropriate, to support the restoration of organic farming businesses in times of such unprecedented events.

ORICoop is founded on the principles of Co-operative values, preserving & enhancing certified organic farmland, localised and resilient food and farming production systems.  True Cooperative principles are around caring about our communities in times of need, and looking beyond our own needs in difficult times.
