Oregon Tilth

What is organic?
Some label your-​my shampoo organic. Well it’s 98% organic. Because it’s 98% water. So thinking about what is organic and what is not is a sticky wicket. All American farming was organic until the 1940’s. Something to think about.
Oregon Tilth has looked at every organic angle of the sticky wicket and whacked it.
Working as part of a regional group, their work laid down organic farming principles for certification. Those ideas from Oregon and Washington spread to California, later influencing the USA standard.
Oregon Tilth is an essential resource for farmers who would like to produce organically. They also are a starting point for finished product producers. They are a resource for other certifications, like salmon-​safe, and for restaurants.
Oregon Tilth is the regional go-​to resource for information and education if you are a producer or consumer interested in doing the right thing.
