We are proud
to announce that Fresh Roots Farm is now Certified Naturally Grown. Certified Naturally Grown is a grassroots
effort by over 500 farmers and ranchers across the country to provide an
alternative to USDA Organic that’s tailored for small-scale, direct-market
producers. The certification program is available only to farmers and ranchers
that support local markets and sell directly to their customers, and therefore don’t
need to buy into the expense, paperwork, or more agribusiness/wholesale focus
of Organic.
Certified
Naturally Grown uses the publicly available USDA National Organic Program
Standards as the basis of our growing practices, however the program is NOT
affiliated in any way with the USDA National Organic Program, and is not
administered or overseen by the USDA or any other government agency.
Certified Naturally Grown
uses an application process, inspections, and unlike the USDA Organic program,
makes use of random pesticide residue testing to help ensure customer
confidence.
