How to become Organic Plus Trust Certified

Your guide to the organic compliance process.

Organic Plus Trust recognizes farms that go beyond the minimum—farms committed to verified practices that protect animal welfare, the land, and the integrity of organic dairy.

Becoming certified to OPT standards helps clearly distinguish your operation in a marketplace where “grass-fed” claims vary widely. It provides third-party verification that brands, retailers, and consumers trust—strengthening your position, reinforcing transparency, and supporting long-term value for your farm.

Certification isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about confirming what you stand for, and ensuring the care you put into your land and livestock is clearly understood and rewarded.
