What does it mean to be Certified Naturally Grown?

Have you ever wondered about the journey your food takes from the farm to your fork?

Certified Naturally Grown (CNG) is a special badge of honor for farmers who are committed to the most natural farming practices possible. It's like a promise that your fruits, veggies, and other farm goodies are grown in harmony with Mother Earth.

But hang on, isn't that what "Organic" certification is about? Sure, but there's a twist. Many small-scale farmers, who are stewards of the land with all their hearts, often find the "Organic" certification process daunting and expensive. It's like wearing a suit to a casual chat with your plants – not always the best fit!

Instead, they opt for CNG, which is grassroots and accessible, making it more in tune with their hands-on approach. The coolest part? These farmers don't just take an oath to follow strict guidelines, but they also invite other CNG farmers to their fields for a peer review – a true community spirit!

The CNG label is not just a mark of quality, but a testament to trust and transparency, built by farmers for farmers – and for all of us who eat!

So, how can we, as a community, support these eco-heroes? Easy! CNG offers a list of local Certified Naturally Grown farmers right at your fingertips – just a click away from connecting with and supporting those who help keep our plates and planet healthy.

By choosing to support these local champions, you're not just buying food; you're investing in a future where we all thrive.

Remember, every time you purchase from a local farmer, you're casting a vote for the world you want to live in. Let's ensure we have a healthy and continued food supply we can trust – for us, our children, and the generations to come.
