The Organic Program requires producers,
handlers and processors wishing to market their commodities
as organic to register with the California Department
of Food and Agriculture annually in accordance with the
California Organic Foods Act of 1990. A registration packet
is available at the Agricultural Commissioner's office.
Organic producers are subject to records inspections as
well as investigations of complaints concerning non-compliances
relating to this Act.
The Certified Producer Program provides oversight of
all growers who sell their crop directly to consumers
at farmers markets. Certification is required to sell
product at any certified farmers market. The county registers
certified producers for an annual fee of $25, payable
at the Agricultural Commissioner's office. Registration
will also include an inspection of the growing site to
assure that the sellers produce the products they market.
