CDFA’s California State Organic Program reminds California organic producers to submit responses to the U.S Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) 2025 Organic Survey no later than Thursday, Feb. 5.
Last conducted in 2021, the Organic Survey looks to gather new data on organic production, marketing practices, income and expenses in the United States. This effort is critical for USDA to be able to determine the economic impact of organic agriculture production on the nation. The survey results are scheduled to be made public on Oct. 30, 2026.
The 2025 Organic Survey is part of the Census of Agriculture Program and as such is required and protected by law (Title 7 USC 2204(g) Public Law 105-113). These federal laws require producers to respond and USDA to keep identities and answers confidential. NASS mailed the survey to all known organic farms and ranches within the 50 states, as well as those producers transitioning to certified organic production.

The California State Organic Program is part of the Inspection & Compliance Branch in CDFA’s Division of Inspection Services.
