The Gyimes Organic Farmers' Association

The Gyimesvölgyi Bio Egyesület (Gyimes Valley Organic Association) was founded in 2018 with the mission to assist the farmers of the Gyimes region in becoming certified organic producers. Due to growing demand, we have since expanded our activities beyond the borders of Gyimes.

By January 2020, the Association had 140 members. One hundred of them obtained organic certification that year, with the remaining forty following suit the next year.

Agri-Cultura-Natura Transylvaniae (ACNT) maintains a strong partnership with the Organic Farming Association. Farkas Tibor, a key figure in the organic movement in Gyimes, worked at ACNT for three years. He played a pivotal role in organizing the farmers into an association and continues to be the driving force behind its operations. Our ACNT colleagues contribute to the Organic Association by organizing information forums and training sessions, and assisting farmers with the extensive administrative work required to achieve and maintain organic certification.

Starting in 2021, our certified organic farmers will produce organic milk. This will allow our small-scale farmers to receive at least double the price for their milk. This not only ensures a future for young farmers but also helps preserve our valuable grasslands with exceptional natural significance.
