Interested in certifying your farm or business with NOOA? Begin by perusing our Resources, particularly the Organic Standards and Permitted Substances List, then move on to read through the Application & Inspection section for a good overview of the process.
Visit our members’ websites to find their organic veggies, fruit, meat, poultry, eggs, grains, wines, beers, and more at a farm stand, farmers’ market, box delivery, or shops near you!
As of 2018, all food and beverage labeled or marketed as Organic in BC must be produced by a Certified Organic operation. NOOA Certification is your assurance that the food you are buying comes from a farm, ranch, orchard or processor that meets or exceeds the Organic Standards.
NOOA is an accredited certifying body for the British Columbia Certified Organic Program.
