TIRED OF PAPERWORK? 

Imagine how many world records would be broken at the next Olympics if they quit testing athletes.

• Consumers expect it! They think “certified” means the farm was tested, and isn't the customer always right?
• Testing will eliminate fraud. Do you trust organic product imported from China and Mexico where environmental and labor standards are non-existent?
• Everything else we buy gets tested. Why not test premium-priced organic crops and livestock in the field?
• We also think there need to be more unannounced inspections. Restaurants don't get advance notice before the health inspector shows up; so why are organic inspections done on a pre-announced basis?

Imagine if instead of testing athletes they required only a dated and signed list of all the things athletes ingested over the last four years in order to “prove” they weren’t using performance enhancing drugs.

Well... that’s how the organic industry runs.

After graduating from university (B.A. Hon.) I worked on my family's organic grain farm in Saskatchewan and then travelled to the United States to train to become an IOIA Advanced Organic Inspector. I didn't like what I saw in the organic industry so I decided to do something about it.

Join the movement and support organic testing

We don’t test end product. We test organic crops and livestock in the field to prove that prohibited chemicals weren't used. What could be simpler?

Organic certification currently relies only on the farmer’s audit trail. The overwhelming majority of farmers are honest. But if there’s fraud in the organic industry, how would we ever know?

I grew up as an organic grain farmer in Saskatchewan. I'm an IOIA-trained, Advanced Inspector with HACCP auditor training. I inspected over 500 farms and processing facilities in the United States and Canada over 5 years. I also set up the first Crop Sampling Training for organic inspectors.

We test for what's NOT supposed to be in organic crops, i.e. herbicides, pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and such... and also for what IS supposed to be in organic crops, i.e. increased fertility.

Don't trust paperwork. Trust random, unannounced testing!
