OMRI’s efforts to direct more resources to more farmers and gardeners is hitting new strides, as we plan our booth and presentation at this year’s Mother Earth News Fair in Puyallup, WA. Even though so many organic professionals know about the OMRI seal, we continue to work on making OMRI resources more available, and easier for the general public to understand and use. As a nonprofit organization, education is at the heart of our mission. We are looking forward to explaining OMRI’s resources to all consumers who are interested in organics.

So what is OMRI? Our organization was formed by organic certifiers back in 1997 to focus exclusively on the products and materials used by farmers. Where certifiers look at farming practices and the whole production system during the certification process, OMRI carefully analyzes each individual input product (including each ingredient and manufacturing process) to determine whether it meets the standards for organic use).

  • We serve organic producers and farmers by making it easy for them to find and recognize fertilizers, pest control products and livestock feed ingredients that meet organic standards.
