This grant, provided under the National Organic Certification Cost-Share Program, is specifically designed to alleviate the financial burden of organic certification for eligible producers and handlers. The primary purpose of this initiative is to offer direct financial reimbursement for a portion of the costs incurred during the organic certification process. Through this program, states facilitate payments that cover up to 75% of an individual’s organic certification expenses. It is important to note that a maximum reimbursement cap of $750 is set per producer or handler annually. This funding aims to support and encourage participation in organic farming practices by making certification more accessible and affordable.
