About Grower Discounts
The Bulk Order, in its previous format, is no longer taking place. The legacy of the Bulk Order continues – not as a one-time order event, but as a seasonal member benefit that supports growers, and grows over time as we add more vendors and wholesale-level access.
For 2026, we are connecting members to quality organic growing supplies with a direct-to-consumer purchasing option through our program partners: Progressive Grower and Fedco Seeds.
- Product and/or shipping discounts
- Direct shipping (to NOFA/Mass, NOFA/RI, CT NOFA members)
- A broader array of products offered at a discount
- 5% of sales from all products purchased will be donated to NOFA/Mass
Ordering open until 4/30/26
Offering direct-to-consumer shipping discounts
Ordering open until 5/31/26
Offering product discounts
These discounts will be available for NOFA/Mass, CT-NOFA, and NOFA-RI members.
NOFA/Mass membership begins on the first day of each year: please renew with us for 2026!
- CT-NOFA friends, please renew here.
- NOFA-RI neighbors, please renew here.
Previously, Baystate Organic Certifiers reviewed our Bulk Order list of supplies for Organic compliance. Both Fedco Seeds and Progressive Grower carry products prohibited on organic farms. Please contact your certifier or email Laura Davis if you are unsure if a specific product is approved, restricted, or prohibited.
For more information on selecting organic compliant products, please watch our webinar: Soil Amendments for Organic Farmers
If you have a soil test report that you want to analyze before placing your orders, please use our soil health services to order a soil test and/or submit your samples for analysis and recommendations. As always, we will recommend products for you to use based on your soil test results.
The Bulk Order served our community well for many years, but it required significant staff time, physical storage logistics, coordination, and volunteer labor – resources that can now be redirected into soil health programs, education, member services, and on-farm support, where our expertise and impact are strongest.
Members will receive discount access with our partnered organic suppliers. Each vendor has a designated ordering window. During that window, members can order directly from suppliers by sharing their membership status or providing the offered discount code.
Yes. We are intentionally growing this program and expect to expand supplier options as we establish partnership agreements. The change allows us to develop vendor relationships independently from the logistics-heavy bulk order format, opening more opportunity for collaboration and accessibility.
Orders can be placed directly through our program partners, Progressive Grower and Fedco. Please visit the following links for detailed ordering instructions.
