I do not know but my guess is that I say you do not have to buy anything.   A lot of members are selling a lot of things. One guy who owns a company selling to farmers speaks at a lot of their meetings as he did in the one in Lubbock.  The head man defended his speaking and  I said he is not going to all this expense just because he likes to make speeches. 
 
I joined for one year and did not renew yet I am still on their mailing list for everything.  They are a good bunch of people but non-farmers have too much power in the organization.  www.togfa.org

This is a grassroots movement and it is VERY BIG.  I say in my workshops: you do not have to buy anything, from anybody, anywhere, at anytime for you garden or minifarm.  There are a few recommendations:  seed [I do not save seed as they can be purchased very cheaply], use sea weed, fish meal/liquid, etc.  These cost very little and do a lot.
 
Many will not give any promotion to my workshops since I say the above.
The TX Organic Gardeners and Farmers Association will not co-sponsor my workshop even when I agreed to teach it free and let them charge for it.  A gardening magazine want to co-sponsor one with them and they will not.  Money!
