Frequently Asked Questions

Can small farms get organic certification?

Yes. Small farms can pursue organic certification when they meet the applicable organic production, handling, recordkeeping, and land-management requirements. Organic Transition Planning can help organize the transition, identify needed practices, and prepare a farm to work through certification requirements. The appropriate steps depend on the farm’s history, crops, practices, records, and chosen certifier, so planning should begin with a clear review of current conditions.
