certifies to the USDA National Organic Program standards and CCOF

CCOF was founded in 1973 as a mutual assistance and
certification organization for organic farmers and was one of the first
organizations to perform organic certification in North America. Since then,
the CCOF seal has been an assurance of certification with integrity. Today,
CCOF maintains one of the most consumer recognized and trusted seals in the
organic marketplace. CCOF remains one of the oldest and largest organic
certification and trade associations in North America, with more than 1,800
members throughout the farm and processing community.
The CCOF Trade Association actively works to build

education, public relations and marketing assistance. Trade association
members include all CCOF certified clients and other supporting individuals
and businesses. Membership is organized into 11 regional chapters, one
processor/handler chapter and one at-large chapter.
