As Canada’s only national organic charity, COG is an important voice for Canadians. We provide many benefits to organic growers and consumers, including children and elders. In fact, COG is proud to support more than 30 school gardens and champions “Growing Up Organic” across Canada, because the future of organic food is rooted with our children and grandchildren. COG is Canada’s organic hub. We connect communities across the nation and provide a platform from which to share information and knowledge. Our free lending library is Canada’s largest library on organic agriculture; our land-matching program, Landshare Canada, connects growers who need land with those who have it; and the Canadian Organic Grower Magazine, is a one of a kind publication that’s produced almost entirely by volunteers. Your generosity also helps strengthen our voice so we can speak out about GMOs and dangerous pesticides. Please support COG's important work today so that we can have a tomorrow!
