Organic IntegrityOrganic IntegrityThe organic inspector’s role on the farm -- on behalf of the NOP (National Organic Program) -- is to “be the eyes and ears on the farm” verifying the wonderful management activities the producer diligently performs and the areas where he/she needs to further implement the standards.
Maintaining and documenting the organic integrity every step of the way is what the NOP program assures the consuming public.

“Natural” refers to a set of conditions with “back-to-nature” and limited chemical input preferences
Organic means adherence to a national uniform set of standards for ecologically-friendly, chemical-free, management-intensive agricultural production, where every stage of the production/handling is inspected by certified inspectors working on behalf of USDA/NOP accredited certifying agents
