Third-Party Verification Programs
The type of product you are growing, raising or packaging will impact what kind of verification and certification programs are available to you and most appropriate for your needs. As you can probably imagine, programs that work well for a cattle producer or beef processor may not fit the needs of an asparagus farmer or orange juice purveyor. Similarly, the demand for specific product attributes varies greatly between food products – which is exactly why you’ve come to the right place!
Our team can help determine what programs may or may not fit best for your operation and your marketing needs, and answer any questions you have on the process, expectations, standards and estimated audit schedule.
