Contact Us TodayOrganic certification is close to table stakes in Denver's natural-foods economy — the city anchors one of the country's strongest organic manufacturing clusters, and buyers in this channel assume USDA NOP certification the way conventional retail assumes a GFSI audit. For processors the project is an Organic System Plan built around ingredient sourcing, segregation, and prohibited-substances control, verified annually by a USDA-accredited certifying agent.
Any USDA-accredited certifying agent can certify you, and several are active in Colorado; they differ in fees, review turnaround, category expertise, and how they handle international recognition if you export. If Canadian sales are planned, the US-Canada organic equivalency arrangement generally lets NOP-certified product carry the Canada Organic logo, subject to its conditions. We shortlist agents against your product categories and export plans rather than defaulting to the nearest one.
Yes — as a split operation — but your Organic System Plan must document segregation and commingling prevention: cleaning or purging between runs, distinct storage and labelling for organic ingredients, and records proving each organic batch used only approved inputs. Certifiers inspect this hard, and residues of prohibited substances from shared equipment are a top noncompliance. We design changeover procedures that hold up at annual inspection.
Compliance with Canada Organic / USDA NOP standards, including supply-chain integrity, ingredient traceability, and segregation.
12 weeks or more for processors; multi-year transition for primary producers under USDA NOP / Canada Organic.
