The Organic Growers Association Western Australia (OGAWA) is a not for profit organisation, which was founded in October 1976. Our objectives are:

• To create opportunity for people interested in organic and biodynamic gardening, agriculture and the development of all levels within the Western Australian organic industry, to meet together and/or exchange knowledge and information;
• To liaise with other organisations with similar objectives;
• To promote and assist research into organic and biodynamic methods of gardening and agriculture thus supporting the protection of the natural environment;
• To engage or participate in the collection, dissemination and publication of information relating to organic and biodynamic methods of gardening and agriculture and the processing, distribution, wholesaling, marketing and retailing of organic produce and value added products;
• To engage in educational programmes that increase public awareness of the importance of organic and biodynamic methods of gardening and agriculture in assisting with the ongoing support of the natural environment;
• To foster and create opportunities for sustainable participation and employment relating to the production, processing, distribution, wholesaling, marketing and retailing of organic and biodynamic produce and value added products;
• To conduct business and employ persons of skill, training and experience relating to organic gardening, agriculture and the processing, distribution, wholesaling, marketing and retailing of organic produce and value added products;
• To establish and operate centres from which these activities can be carried out.

Our activities are run by volunteers and are funded by membership subscription, and the sale of literature on organic growing. If you are interested in Organic Growing, whether as a consumer, a home gardener, or a commercial grower, producer, retailer or consultant, please join OGAWA to support us in achieving these aims.
