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!)

There *are* photos of Tater's garden here and there throughout the Forum. Using the Search function will find them for you.
Please do not harass members of the forum about posting photos of their own gardens.

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