USDA Organic certification made easy!

Get trained in the processes of certification before you apply

USDA Organic Certification, FL (prHWY.com) July 30, 2012 - California, USA
30th July 2012

The world is going the organic way, and getting certified as Organic will ensure that your business is future ready. In addition to increasing your business potential, you will also be able to claim Organic benefits from your government.

Earlier, the certification process was quite straight-laced. However, with an increasing number of complaints, the FDA decided to tighten the entry norms, and that resulted in a lot of applications getting rejected.

Hisfarm.org came up with a solution to this problem, and if the media reports are anything to go by, there is a lot of interest being generated about the service. What the website does is to address most of the concerns which cause applications to get rejected, and trains would-be organic entrepreneurs on ways to overcome the bottlenecks in the USDA Organic Certification process.

If you look at the process of obtaining Organic Certification from the USDA, you'll find that can be quite mind-boggling. Liability Concerns, Certifying the land, Inspection details, proving food safety, and a thousand other things can cause an application to be rejected. For instance, if there's a small farm that can get itself certified as 'USDA Certified', all its produce can have the logo printed, and that is a major USP for any product. However, getting certified isn't all that easy, and there are hardly any ways by which one can learn ways to overcome beforehand.

H.I.S. Farm is the brainchild of Chris Downs, who calls himself The CareTaker of the service. The website addresses many of the problems encountered in the USDA Organic Certification process and gives us solutions, so one can be prepared while submitting the application. It also helps identify potential bottlenecks that could cause an application to be rejected. Once rejected, re-applying is a major headache, and results in a substantial waste of time. In addition to guiding people through the certification maze, H.I.S Farm also has various sub-sections like Permaculture, Composting, Farm Equipment, Water management, and Organic Gardening. There are specifics like Growing Tomatoes that will help get interested people started too.

Like Downs says, "The hardest part for me when learning how to work within the process of the US FDA requirement was the overwhelming bureaucratic process". He promises to share his knowledge so others needn't reinvent the wheel. The program is also useful to find funding through grants.
