Organic Farming
Data show consumer demand for certified organic foods continues to increase. The sale of organic products in the U.S. has grown more than 30% since 2016, and the number of organic producers is up almost 40%.
With the organic market growing steadily, you may be interested to learn more about organic certification and organic production options.
These resources offer guidance in preparing for certification, and in production methods for a range of organic crops and livestock. Many of these practical resources were developed in response to producer questions, and they deal with issues related to specific products, as well as production methods, marketing, and organic certification requirements.
