Santa Cruz, Calif., October 7, 2025 — California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF), a leader in advancing organic agriculture for more than 50 years, announced today that it has selected Comsint Communications as its communications partner. The engagement will focus on strengthening policy communications, expanding consumer engagement, and advancing market development strategies to build national demand for organic food and reinforce the integrity of the USDA Organic label.
The partnership comes at a time of renewed national focus on health, organics, and the quality of the food supply. Consumers are seeking trusted choices for their families, while policymakers and institutions are re-examining how food systems can better support resilience, nutrition, and sustainability. Together, CCOF and Comsint will elevate organic agriculture as the standard for transparency, integrity, and long-term public benefit.
“CCOF has always championed the organic farmers and businesses who grow and make our food,” said Michael Recco, Marketing Director at CCOF. “By partnering with Comsint, we can amplify their voices beyond the industry and reach new audiences who care about the environment, health, and the future of farming. This collaboration allows us to showcase organic as essential infrastructure, not just for agriculture, but for a healthier world.”
