Got Certified today

The farm got Certified Naturally Grown approval today. It's not the USDA program -I can't afford that now. It will help us get into some Farmers Markets that we couldnt last year. Thought I'd share.

Congrats! That's a great achievement! I've been thinking about applying, too...someone told me due to the small size of my plant biz, I would qualify as a "hobbyist" and not have to pay the huge fee...but I'm not sure. Was the process very difficult? Everything I do/use is OMRI certified...

Hope the certification helps "grow" your business! (bad pun totally intended!) :D

Congrats on getting certified. I'd also like to know how difficult it is. I've heard the USDA certification takes 3 years.
