What is organic farming certification?

If you want to sell products as organic, you must hold a legal certificate of registration from an approved organic certification body, like Soil Association Certification. Organic food and farming is defined by law and set out in EU regulations. Any product sold as organic in the UK must comply with a set of production and processing standards.

Soil Association organic certification

We help you to meet the requirements of organic conversion and certification, inspect your business to organic standards and provide you with an organic license to sell your products with the use of the Soil Association Organic Symbol. We certify all farm sizes from direct sales horticulture to livestock and largescale arable. We offer joint inspections with other audits and provide organic certification for on–farm processing and packing.

There’s a premium in the market place so financially, if you can make the rotation work, there is a real business case for organic farming.
