Soil Stewards and Organic Certification

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.
