Rather than attempt to reproduce an exhaustive or redundant list of organic agriculture resources on the internet, we’re including an annotated bibliography of the practical, philosophical and administrative sources we have found pertinent to our work on the farm.

• Horizon Herbs. Located in Williams, Oregon, and run by Richo Cech, this company has one of the largest organic herb seed repositories that we’re aware of. Richo is also an author of numerous books about herbal medicine and rare medicinal herb cultivation.
• Organic Seed Alliance: The flagship organization for the organic seed industry. Their web site contains a great deal of information pamphlets for professional seed breeders, and place a specific emphasis on the Pacific Northwest bioregions. They also have created an incredibly informative course on Organic Seed Production.
• Oregon Tilth: Our organic certifier and an amazing advocacy organization for organic agriculture.
• Soil and Health Library: Founded by well-known author and Territorial Seed Company founder Steve Solomon, this library is a treasure trove of out of print books and other historical documents related to ecological agriculture. This content is useful beyond its historical merit; it’s a testament to the fact that organic principles of soil ecology were established long before the contemporary organic movement. 
• Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE): This organization is a powerhouse. They publish pamphlets that focus on the production, economic, and administrative aspects of “sustainable” agriculture; one book we’ve found particularly helpful is Building a Sustainable Business: A Guide to Developing a Business Plan for Farms and Rural Businesses. SARE is also one of the largest sustainable agriculture grant organizations.
• University of California Cooperative Extension: Cooperative Extension Ventura County. Cooperative extensions are an important resource for the bioregional idiosyncracies of agricultural production. This resource is the go-to for questions about crop diseases, weather/climatic considerations, and also includes some minimal grant opportunities.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) specific resources:

• Trauger Groh and Steven McFadden Farms of Tomorrow Revisited: Community Supported Farms – Farm Supported Communities (Biodynamic Farming and Gardening Association, 1998). Co-authored by one of the innovators of the CSA movement, this book offers an in-depth look at many of the earliest CSA farms in the United States.
• Robyn Van En and Elizabeth Henderson, Sharing the Harvest: A Citizen’s Guide to Community Supported Agriculture, Revised and Expanded (Chelsea Green Publishing, Revised Edition, 2007). Co-authored by another founder of the U.S. CSA movement, this is the most comprehensive book in print on the subject.
• The National Sustainable Agriculture Service’s (ATTRA) pamphlet on “Community Support Agriculture” contains a historical overview of the movement and examples of different types of CSA programs.
