Our Organic Certificate

Proud to say our renewed organic certificate showed up in the mail today. The inspector made the following closing comments on the inspection report:
 
Very committed to doing things organically
 
Very detailed and comprehensive record keeping system in place
 
Awareness of food safety in packing area
 
Danny & Michelle have enough records to very easily keep records that are complete and easily accessible. They understand organic and desire to make a difference, they are very easy to deal with.
 
Summary: There are no issues or concerns with this operation
 
It sure is nice to have our efforts recognized!
 
Maple Creek Farm has been a certified organic farm since 1999! Our current organic certifier is OEFFA (Ohio Ecological Food & Farm Alliance) we started off with MOFFA ( Michigan Organic Food & Farm Alliance) but they stopped certifying farms a few years ago or else we would still be certifying our farm through a Michigan group.
 
Eat & Be Well,
 
Michelle

Congrtulations! Why did Moffa stop certifying farms? Did you have a Moffa Certificate before? I am just curious how these things work.
