Califia Farms has launched two new products including Organic Oatmilk and Almondmilk following them receiving approval from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The two innovations are reportedly made from three ingredients: purified water, sea salt, and oats/almonds. The brand claims that their new editions do not contain oils or gums. Sales of organic products were up 13% in 2021 compared with 2019, a new organic survey from the USDA reports. The USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service said the 2021 Organic Survey showed total sales of $11.2 billion in organic products, an increase of $1.28 billion, or 13%, from 2019, according to a news release. There were 17,445 certified organic farms in the 2021 survey, a 5% increase from 2019, the survey said. At this Inside Organic SupplySide West session, NielsenIQ shares where organic fits in today’s market trends and key areas of growth. Inside Organic unveils its custom research on the organic messages resonating with today’s organic consumer. And, industry experts discuss where organic fits in the sustainability and climate change conversation and the role ingredient companies can play in helping brands and retailers communicate their climate impact and commitments across the supply chain. Wisconsin continues to be a leader in the organic farming industry. But new data shows access to land and the need for more infrastructure is taking a toll on some kinds of organic operations. The USDA conducted a survey of certified organic farms across the country in 2021. The survey showed that Wisconsin is still second in the nation for the total number of organic farms with 1,455, up about 6 percent from the same survey in 2019. California continues to lead the industry with 3,061 farms, while New York came in third at 1,407 farms. U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King and Congresswoman-elect Chellie Pingree today welcomed a $250,000 federal investment to strengthen Maine’s organic food supply chain and support independent organic producers. Awarded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Value-Added Producer Grant (VAPG) program funding will help Apple Creek Farm LLC, an organic farm in Bowdoinham, expand processing, marketing, and sales of their certified organic products, boosting revenue and creating jobs.
