This Father’s Day, the Organic Consumers Association encourages you to buy Dad gifts from farmers certified by the Real Organic Project, an add-on USDA Organic certification that was founded to support earth-grown organic after the National Organic Program changed its rules to allow berries, greens, and other fruits and vegetables to be grown in plastic pots—without soil!

A great way to celebrate Father’s Day is to take Dad out to visit a Real Organic farm. Check out what’s happening on the Real Organic farms near you. There are Real Organic farms with pick-your-own, tasting rooms, restaurants, live music, events, and places to stay overnight.

Want to bake Dad a treat? It’s strawberry-rhubarb pie season! Real Organic farms near you have rhubarb and strawberries unlike any you can find in a grocery store. When you compare their taste to those plastic-grown Driscoll’s berries, you’ll rediscover what a strawberry really is!

Even if you won’t be seeing Dad in person, there are fun ways to get him a gift from a Real Organic farm, like getting him a membership in a local CSA. Community Supported Agriculture is where you invest in a farm by paying up-front and receiving a share of the harvest throughout the growing season. You can find Real Organic CSAs here.

Or, you could send him a gift box of his farm-fresh favorites. We encourage you to buy him Real Organic Father’s Day gifts in cash straight from the farm and send them yourself, but there are plenty of Real Organic farms that will do the shipping for you. Here are just a few of the items that caught our eye when we searched the online stores of Real Organic farms–all ready to be shipped nationwide.

Subscriptions & gift boxes…

Frey Vineyards

Frey Vineyards, in Redwood Valley, California, is America’s first winery to be organic (since 1980) and biodynamic (since 1996), Frey makes no-sulfites-added wines from the earth, for the earth–and they’re Real Organic, too. If Dad’s a wine drinker, enroll him in Frey’s Wine Club where he’ll get a hand-picked selection of his favorite wines delivered four times a year. If you send Dad something from Frey Vineyards, make sure to show him this hilarious video from Casey Frey, a member of the youngest generation of Frey family winemakers, on how to “Celebrate Fridays the Freyway.” (This wasn’t a one-off; Casey’s a pro. He made the official music video for Childish Gambino’s Psilocybae.)

Super-premium, hard-to-find organic gifts…

Biodynamic Extra-Virgin Avocado Oil

Avocado oil is one of the most sought-after ingredients, and it’s rare to find it organic, let alone Real Organic and Biodynamic. In fact, there is only one biodynamic avocado oil in the world. It’s made in Moorpark, California on Apricot Lane Farm (made famous in The Biggest Little Farm) from avocados grown on the farm.

Gifts with great names…

Praise the Lard

Help Dad get more vitamin D, the most enjoyable way possible, by eating pork lard! It’s nature’s best oil for frying, baking, and even moisturizing! A tablespoon contains 1000 International Units of Vitamin D! Lard also has a favorable ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids, which can’t be said of any of the seed oils. Healthier than butter, it compares most closely with coconut oil. Like butter, it stays usable in the refrigerator for months. You can order Dad Praise the Lard Real Organic pork lard from Many Hands Organic Farm in Barre, MA.

Macho Man Tea

This Real Organic tea from Spiritworks Herb Farm in Whitefish, Montana, was created to celebrate Dad’s virility! Macho Man Tea contains stinging nettle, baikal skullcap, tulsi basil, and ashwagandha root. Ashwagandha is an ancient herb that has over 4,000 years of traditional use in India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. It translates roughly to “the smell and strength of a horse,” alluding to aphrodisiac properties known for boosting testosterone and fertility. Paired with herbs that reduce stress and anxiety, this tea is Mr. Fix-It!

For the dad who likes it hot…

Give Dad Real Organic hot sauce from Foothill Farm in St. Ignatius, Montana, or

sriracha from Kitchen Garden Farm in Sunderland, MA.

If you order the sriracha, make sure to get some dried peppers to make this delicious birria mac-and-cheese. When my son and I made this for his dad, we couldn’t find any of the dried peppers the recipe called for at our local grocery stores. Luckily, there’s a bodega close by that stocks them, but they aren’t organic. I was so excited to see that we can order Real Organic ancho and guajillo peppers from Kitchen Garden Farm!

For the dad who likes it sweet…

Make Dad breakfast and let him slather it with Real Organic maple syrup, made the old fashioned way. Treasured Haven Farm’s 100% Pure Real Organic Maple Syrup comes from their own maple trees. The sap is cooked slowly over an outdoor wood fire for a rich, intense, country fresh flavor.

For the dad who loves cheese…

Amaltheia Dairy is a Real Organic goat dairy and vegetable farm nestled at the base of the Bridger Mountains near Bozeman, Montana. They ship their goat milk cheeses (and lotions) nationwide. Their chevre flavors include cranberry cinnamon, garlic and chive, olive, smoked, spiced pepper, sun-dried tomato, and truffle. They also sell goat milk feta and ricotta.

For the dad who loves to cook (or be cooked for)…

Terra Basics in Chichester, New Hampshire, specializes in Real Organic culinary herbs, medicinal herbs and edible flowers. Their gardens are nestled in beautiful forests, creating a tranquil environment where wildlife thrives. They sell packaged teas and spices. Their seasoning blends (Greek, Italian, Maple Pork Rub, Olive Oil Dipping Mix, and Pizza) would make an especially nice gift for Dad.

For the dad who drinks hard cider…

Keepsake Cidery in Dundas, Minnesota, works with their own fruit and with the fruit of other local farms to make Real Organic cider. If you’re near the beautiful Cannon River Valley, take Dad to the farm to visit the tasting room where he can pair his favorite ciders with food sourced from local farmers. If you’re in Minnesota, you can pick up a bottle at your favorite stores or take dad out to a restaurant that serves it (map here). If you’re out of state, you can have it shipped. We recommend the Organic Farmhouse Dry, made from Real Organic apples from the Keepsake home orchard, including Northern Spy, Wickson, and Liberty apples, and the Organic Farmhouse Semisweet, which goes great with spicy food.

For the dad who enjoys his THC or CBD and wants to grow it at home…

Infinite Tree in Grants Pass, Oregon, is one of the first Cannabis farms to be certified as USDA Organic and is known nationally for their work on the research and development of Cannabis plants. Infinite Tree’s Grow It From Home online shop helps folks across the U.S. get gardening cannabis at home, in their backyard or on a patio. Grow It From Home is on a mission to empower the canna-curious to cultivate their own Cannabis as easily and legally as growing a backyard tomato. Their goal is to make these plants accessible to all. They work hard to provide you with a supportive community, expert guidance, and high-quality gardening supplies. They work with folks across the U.S. that are growing Cannabis for all sorts of reasons, and they are there to support Dad too.

For the dad who dreams of becoming a farmer…

Dad can fuel his farm fantasies by reading Many Hands Make a Farm by the couple who runs Many Hands Organic Farm, Jack Kittredge and Julie Rawson. Their memoir recounts the sometimes risky decisions they made during their early years when they were raising kids while building their farm–and the organic movement. Jack and Julie didn’t always go along with what most Americans were doing, especially in the areas of diet and health care, employment, debt and consumerism, energy use, and culture. In this book they explain what we did, why they did it, and how it turned out. It’s an entertaining story and helpful guide for anyone wanting to fashion a purposeful life.
