When Am I Able To Sell My First Organic Produce?

1.	When Am I Able To Sell My First Organic Produce?
Answer» During the first year of conversion produce may not be sold as organic – it must be sold onto the non-organic (conventional) market. If appropriate, produce during the second year of conversion may be sold as “organic – in-conversion” produce, if there is a market for it. Once land has COMPLETED its conversion to full organic status, crops sown or transplanted into FULLY organic land may be sold as organic. Livestock to be sold as organic will be available some TIME after the land has achieved fully organic status. The time period will DEPEND on the TYPE of stock and other factors.
