About Iopa

Founded in 1990, the Islands Organic Producers Association is a non-profit association of organic growers on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.

Our central mandate is threefold:

  • to maintain written standards for organic farming in this bioregion;
  • to administer a fair and strict process to assess the operations of organic growers; and
  • to award certified organic status to those who qualify

We also work to promote and strengthen the organic movement locally and to establish a cooperative relationship among organic growers.

We believe organic agriculture is both a philosophy and a way of farming: the process is as important as the product, and the quality and sustainability of life is paramount. We welcome your support and involvement.
