As we enter the season of gratitude and gathering, I’m reminded that every feast tells a story, one that begins in the soil and connects us all through the food we share. This is the heart of the regenerative organic movement: healing the earth while nourishing our lives.
This month’s newsletter celebrates that connection. We’re thrilled to welcome new farms, suppliers, and brands to the Regenerative Organic Certified® community, each one helping to grow a marketplace rooted in integrity and impact. You’ll also find inspiring stories from our Ally Partners, like Patagonia Provisions, who continue to show how business can be a powerful force for regeneration.
As we head into the holidays, we invite you to explore ways to bring regenerative values to your table, from cooking with ROC™ ingredients (including a delicious cookie recipe!) to supporting our Giving Tuesday campaign that helps more farmers transition to regenerative organic systems.
Together, we’re proving that what we choose to grow, make, and eat can truly transform the world, one meal, one farm, and one act of generosity at a time.
With gratitude,
Christopher Gergen
CEO, Regenerative Organic Alliance
