Welcome to SOCA

More and more people like you are aware of
the importance of quality food. You want to
serve your families the safest food possible.
With the continued use of synthetic chemicals
sprays and potentially harmful chemical
additives to our food, increasing numbers of
people feel that "organic agriculture" is the best
way to ensure quality organic products. By
supporting SOCA you help to assure that
quality organic foods get to your table.

Our Goal is to provide a impartial third party
certification program to inspect organic food
products at all stages of production, processing
and distribution and grant licenses to those
certified to permit the licensee to sell products
under the SOCA logo, trademark as certified organic.

To provide programs for the professional
development of organic farmers and farmers in
transition: including education. To clarify and
aggressively promote a common image of
organic products in the market place, to ensure
consistent quality in order to build integrity in the
organic products. To develop programs and
projects which will benefit farmers and
provide a forum for discussion of such issues.
