Why Certify?
While many of our members and customers are happy to
know that our food is locally produced using sustainable, chemical-free
farming methods, we believe that certifying our farm and products as organic
provides a unique opportunity for research and experience on campus. Organic
certification means that we will have set guidelines for follow in producing
our food.
Where are we in the process?
We have been farming consistently for three
seasons using only approved inputs and methods.
We submitted our organic
certification paperwork early in Spring 2007, which has been accepted, and
we are awaiting our inspection, which should happen sometime before July.
