NOP Creates New Tool to Help Producers and Handlers Connect
with USDA Accredited Certifiers
At the National Organic Program (NOP), we have heard it can be challenging for those interested in applying for organic certification to know where to start. We know that searching for a certifier and researching separate certifier websites can be time consuming! To address this challenge, the NOP created a 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.
We hope this new tool will ease the process for producers and handlers and help them connect with the right certifier. If you or anyone in your community is interested in getting certified, please click or share the link below to express that interest to potential certifiers.
If at any time you wish to be removed from the list of producers and handlers looking to connect with a certifier, please email NOP.Guidance@usda.gov to be removed.
