Planting Seeds for Future Harvest Oregon Tilth is nurturing two mature quasi-endowment investments. The Oregon Tilth Board of Directors chose to align with our mission by investing in socially responsible investments (SRI), enriching people and the planet together. Our goal is to perpetuate Oregon Tilth’s work and widen our impact far into the future.

Investing in Latin America With organic imports and exports in and out of the United States on the rise, we recognized the opportunity to invest in the Latin American organic food community. We expanded our scope of services beyond the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) organic certification to include the LPO (Ley Productos Organicos) certification overseen by the Mexican government.

We have continued to invest time and revenue toward educating and enhancing the client experience in Latin America. We donated $5,000 to the International Organic Inspector Association for a training program in commemoration of Reynaldo de la Rosa Santa Maria, one of Oregon Tilth’s former inspectors.
We look forward to strengthening these communities and creating a space to grow and thrive.
