Can non-certified farmers use the word “organic”?
The only non-certified farmers that are allowed to use the term “organic” are those whose gross agricultural income from organic products is $5,000 or less annually. These farmers must still comply with all NOP requirements, from soil building, the use of organic seed, and approved fertility, to pest and disease management materials, and record keeping, but they are exempt from going through the certification process. Products from exempt operations may not be used as organic ingredients in organically labeled processed products produced by another operation, or used as organic feed or bedding for organic livestock.
