Standards of Organic Gardening

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has established standards that growers must meet in order to label any product “organic.”

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has established standards that growers must meet in order to label any product “organic.” Many small gardeners and farmers who don’t have the resources to comply with these standards or the time to do the extensive paperwork simply label their products as “naturally grown” or “chemical free.” Some farmers claim to use growing methods that are superior to those required by the USDA.

The UK-based HDRA developed a voluntary charter for organic gardeners. Commercial growers,
however, have to comply with the strict standards of the Soil Association in order to achieve certification as organic growers.
