After your talk with a certification specialist, you will be provided the Organic System Plan (OSP) in a digital or paper format to fill out and return with your certification fee.
Once VOF receives your full application and fee payment a certification specialist will review your application, make comments that will be provided to you, and send your file to an independent inspector. The inspector will reach out to you to schedule a time to look at your production areas and records. After the on-site visit, the inspector will write up a report to send to your certification specialist who will review it, identify any improvement areas, and issue your organic certificate.
