Organic Certification
OrganicFarmNZ is an organic certification scheme. It is designed to be a low cost certification system for (generally) small-scale growers supplying the New Zealand market only. It was established in response to the growing cost of organic certification and the global movement towards local food and the explosion in small-scale farms in New Zealand. OrganicFarmNZ was established through the aid of a MAF grant to the Soil & Health Association. It was officially launched in November 2002. We have around 240 Producer members. The average producer is 10 hectares in size (ranging from less than 1 hectare up to 100 hectares). The Environment Centre is the Regional Office of Organic Farm NZ and covers Gisborne to Central Hawke's Bay properties ContactMarion Thomson Certification Manager OFNZ HB |
