Can you explain the different product labels?

You may notice that some products are labeled “Organic”, and others are not. As a rule, no “conventional” growers are allowed to sell through our market. Everything sold on Connie’s Cornucopia is grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides. All produce is grown according to Organic standards, although, for various reasons, most growers do not pursue Organic certification.
To use the word “Organic,” a grower must register through the USDA and keep up with a tremendous amount of paperwork. The process is very expensive and intensive, and certainly favors large, conglomerate farms over the small family farm.
A few smaller growers in the state of Georgia have decided that the cost and paperwork of Organic Certification are worth the effort, and because they have completed the certification paperwork and have paid the fees to be inspected by the USDA, they can legally use the word “Organic."
Many smaller farmers choose another route, a grassroots certification system called “Certified Naturally Grown.” This nation-wide program seeks to correct the problems with the USDA certification system. The standards are just as strict (and in some cases, more so) as the USDA Organic program, but the cost of certification is minimal— about $200 per year, compared with $2,000 through the National Organic Program. There is still paperwork, but smaller farmers find it manageable.
Finally, a few growers are not certified by anyone but still use organic sustainable methods on their farms.
To find out more about our growers, and to see what certification they have, take a look at our Growers page.

Will I have to buy vegetables I don't want?

Unlike some co-ops, buying clubs, or CSAs where everyone gets the same box of stuff (and you don’t know what you’re getting until you get it), with Connie’s Cornucopia you get to order what you want, in the quantities that you want, from the farms that you want.
