NMG is Certified Organic
NMG started the organic certification process 2011. It has taken the efforts of many people and a lot of documentation and hard work. We received the official letter granting us certification on January 5, 2012. Thank you to everyone involved in making this happen. We are currently working on organic programs for customers including veggies, herbs and strawberries.
SCSI, the third party company that certifies Veriflora also certifies Organic. SCS has more than two decades of experience evaluating and certifying organic production and handling practices, and was among the first certifiers to be accredited under the USDA administered National Organic Program (NOP).
