FAQ
What information do I need to provide?
I’ll need details about your production site, the seeds or ingredients you use, and your current record-keeping methods. We’ll go through a checklist together during our first session.
Do you guarantee I will get certified?
While I ensure your documentation and processes meet USDA NOP standards, the final decision always rests with your accredited certifying agent. I provide the best possible preparation to ensure success.
How long does the NOP process take?
The paperwork usually takes 1-2 weeks on my end, but the certifying agency’s review and the actual inspection can take several months. Starting your compliance work early is key.
Can you help with an existing non-compliance notice?
Yes. If you’ve received a notice of non-compliance after an audit, I can help you draft a corrective action plan to address the issues and maintain your certification.
Do you handle the inspection itself?
I provide audit preparation to get you ready, but you (or your designated staff) must be the one to meet with the inspector. I’ll make sure you have all the answers ready.
