Christy - I have dropped organic certification I do not feel that USDA organic certification represents the same organic movement that I represent. I do not want to financially or ideologically support the USDA organic certification and I am pledging my time and energy to finding a way of rating food by it's food value (beyond FRESH and LOCAL) so people can make more informed choices about the foods they feed their children and themselves.Speaking of paper trail, our certifiers are holding a two day work shop on how to keep records under the NOP rule. Chris and I are still debating wether or not we will re certify under the new rule. I wonder how many US growers on BDNOW! are considering dropping organic certification?
