The Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) Organic Program is accredited as a certification agent by USDA. The WSDA Organic Program is dedicated to ensuring the integrity of organic products and facilitating access to organic markets. Its core principles and aspirations include:

Certification of Organic Producers and Handlers: The program inspects and certifies organic operations, verifying their adherence to USDA organic standards. 

Registration of Inputs for Organic Production: It evaluates and registers materials approved for use in organic farming, ensuring they meet organic standards. 

Technical Assistance: The program provides guidance on USDA organic regulations, supporting businesses in maintaining compliance and promoting best practices. 

Promotion of Ecological Balance and Biodiversity: By fostering practices that promote resource cycling, ecological balance, and biodiversity conservation, the program aligns with the broader goals of organic agriculture. 

Stakeholder Engagement: Through the Organic Advisory Board, the program collaborates with organic farmers, processors, handlers, and other stakeholders to address industry concerns and guide policy development. 

These efforts collectively aim to uphold the integrity of the organic label and support the growth and sustainability of the organic sector in Washington State.

Our compliance with the WSDA Organic Program represents not only a milestone in the development of our global markets, but is also a testament to our commitment to environmental safety and the production of high quality, sustainable, organic produce.
