What is the meaning of Organic, Certified Organic and Certified Naturally Grown ?
Organic refers to the way agricultural products—food and fiber—are grown and processed. Organic food
production is based on a system of farming that maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of toxic
and persistent pesticides and fertilizers. Organic foods are minimally processed without artificial ingredients,
preservatives, or irradiation to maintain the integrity of the food. (Organic Trade Association)
"Certified Organic" means the item has been grown according to strict uniform standards that are verified by
independent state or private organizations. (Organic Trade Association)
Certified Naturally Grown is a non-profit alternate farm assurance certification program created for small-scale
organic farmers. Certified Naturally Grown farmers follow the USDA standards of the National Organic Program,
but the record keeping and inspection process is tailored to accommodate the needs of small-scale mixed-
agriculture farmers, and are not normally permitted to use the word “organic”. Farmers commit to act as
inspectors. Farmer-Inspectors are uniquely qualified to observe and note whether their neighbors are sticking to
the standards.. (Wikipedia)
