The Organic Growers of Australia certification system was designed to be ethical, cost-effective, and charge no levies on organic sales. We have an excellent reputation across both trade and industry for organic quality and reliability.

What is organic farming?
Organic farming is a system which:
  • Improves the structure, fertility, and health of the soil while enhancing the surrounding environment
  • Produces quality agricultural and livestock products, true to species, with high nutritional value
  • Avoids pollution resulting from agriculture
  • Minimises the use of non-renewable resources
  • Increases biodiversity
  • Works towards being a closed system
Why become certified organic?

The market for organic food in Australia and overseas is expanding rapidly as people seek a healthy, high nutrition diet and become more aware of the environmental benefits provided by organic farmers. The production of organic food is a highly ethical business with long term social and environmental benefits for the whole community. It’s also a nice way to farm.
