In response to feedback about the challenges of applying for organic certification, the National Organic Program (NOP) has developed a new tool to help potential applicants express their interest to certifiers.
Anyone interested in attaining organic certification can now use the Organic Certification Interest Form to answer a few questions about their business activities and products they want certified organic. Completed interest forms will automatically be sent to certifiers accepting new applicants. Certifiers who provide the services an applicant needs can then contact the applicant directly to provide more information about their services and application process.
This tool aims to simplify the journey to organic certification, helping producers and handlers connect with the right certifier more efficiently.
