Frequently Asked Questions
Getting certified for the first time requires developing an organic system plan, submitting it to a USDA-accredited certifying agent, and passing an initial on-site inspection. We help prepare the plan and documentation so the application moves through review efficiently.
An organic certification renewal requires submitting an updated organic system plan and undergoing an annual inspection to confirm your operation still meets USDA organic standards. Missing the renewal window can put your certification at risk of lapsing.
Yes. We support growers, handlers, and processors based in Florida as well as operations across the United States and internationally.
A mock organic audit is a practice review that mirrors what your certifying agent will actually check during the real audit, using your current records and practices. It helps identify gaps while there is still time to correct them before the official audit.
If an audit finds a noncompliance issue, you typically need to submit a corrective action plan addressing the root cause within a set timeframe. We help operations build this response and work toward resolving the finding with the certifying agent.
Yes. USDA organic certification requires annual renewal, and failing to complete the process on time can result in a lapse or suspension of your certified status.
Most operations benefit from starting audit preparation a few months ahead, giving enough time to run a mock audit and correct any gaps it uncovers. Waiting until close to the audit date leaves less room to fix issues properly.
We provide both. Many clients use ongoing compliance monitoring between renewals to catch small issues early, rather than only engaging us at renewal or audit time.
