Organic Certification Program
Welcome to the Nevada Department
of Agriculture Organic Certification Program Home Page. Here you will find
links to Nevada-grown certified organic products and the farmers who produced
them. A word about the program…..
In 1997 the Nevada Legislature passed the
Nevada Organic Certification Law. This law allows the Department of Agriculture
to apply for USDA accreditation as an organic certifier of agricultural products
grown or processed in Nevada. The Department is currently accredited
by the USDA National Organic Program. In addition, the law allows the
Department to verify that organic products produced out of state and sold
in Nevada are produced according to recognized organic methods.
The Nevada Organic Certification Program
is designed to provide assurance to consumers who purchase organic products
that the products were grown according to organic standards. Certification
also benefits Nevada's producers and handlers of organic agricultural products
by providing an in-state certification service for organic certification.
Nevada's law applies to organically produced
agricultural products, including fruit and vegetables, fiber and livestock
feeds. An agricultural product may not be sold in Nevada as organic unless
it is certified organic.
