Certified Organic

Secretary of Agriculture  Dan Glickman said at the release of the national organic standards, "the organic label is a marketing tool. It is not a statement about food safety. Nor is 'organic' a value judgment about nutrition or quality. USDA is not in the business of choosing sides, of stating preferences for one kind of food, one set of ingredients or one means of production over any other. As long as rigorous government safety standards are being met, we stand ready to do what we can to help support any farmer and help market any kind of food.

Grant-Adams Cooperative Extension is part of USDA and takes the same approach towards certified organic production.  We are ready to help organic farmers, just as we are ready to help farmers who are choose not to certified organic crops.
