Certified Organic Bulk Herbs

How do herbs become Certified as Organic? 

Certified Organic herbs are produced by farmers who put emphasis on the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations.  Organic herbs are produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation.  Before a product can be labeled "organic," a Government-approved certifier inspects the farm where the herbs are grown to make sure the farmer is following all the rules necessary to meet USDA organic standards. 

Natural Does Not Represent Organic!

Natural and organic are not interchangeable.  Don't confuse these two terms  Only Herbs labeled "organic" have been certified as meeting USDA organic standards.
