Consumers purchasing food that is "Certified Organically Grown" are encouraging the expanded use of organic farming practices that promote healthy soil, water and air, thus healthy animals, plants and environment. NOFA-NY Certified Organic, LLC certification is based on grower documentation and includes annual farm visits by field representatives to verify the farming practices of the farmer. There are currently 518 farms, dairies or processors certified organic by NOFA-NY Certified Organic, LLC as of October 23, 2008.
