We can’t. Have to know your local farmer.

We cannot any longer. Robert has coined the phase "regulatory capture" which is John Ralston Saul's : "a slow moving corporate coup d'etat" from 1997. Guess how far it has advanced in 25 years. Three guesses and the first two don't count, alas!

"Oregon Tilth" is the best certification.

It's not a government entity. The organic consumer's associations are independent.

If it is regulated by the US Department of Agriculture, how can we trust it? Just like we cannot trust FDA regulated Pharma.
