Welcome to the Virginia Association for Biological Farming (VABF)!
VABF’s mission is to support, advocate for, and educate about organic farming and gardening in Virginia.

- Purchase your vegetables, fruit, meat, dairy, and eggs from local, sustainable farms
- Visit area Farmers’ Markets (use this locator)
- Ask how, where, and by whom the food was grown
- Buy local, organic foods at area natural grocery stores
- Learn to eat and cook seasonal produce
- Attend Farm Tours to learn how the food is grown/raised
- Attend the annual Virginia Biological Farming Conference to learn about sustainable agriculture, gardening, cooking, and more
