Cumbria Organics was set up in 1999 to provide self-help support to the increasing number of local farmers converting to organic production. The group also raises consumer awareness about organic food, helps to develop supply chains and provides technical information for anyone interested in farming to organic standards.

The Cumbria Organics project is based at Cumbria Rural Enterprise Agency (CREA) at Redhills, Penrith with three project workers, based in Penrith, Broughton-in-Furness and Sedbergh. The project is supported by Leader+ (Cumbria Fells and Dales), Distinctly Cumbrian, the Northern Rock Foundation and the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation .
