After a number of years of cheering from the sidelines and listening to the amazing REAL ORGANIC PODCAST (check it out, it’s great!) We’ve finally joined the movement and become Real Organic certified!  ROP is an add-on food label and farmer-led movement that distinguishes soil-grown and pasture-raised foods under the USDA Organic food label. Because the USDA does not currently enforce the standards as they are written and allows for the certification of hydroponic fruits and vegetables, as well as meat, milk, and eggs from large-scale confinement operations (CAFOs), real organic farmers across the US have banded together to take action.
