With deep roots in the organic movement, PCO is committed to helping growers, processors, and businesses thrive with integrity.
We bring national reach with a people-first approach, meeting producers where they are and supporting them every step of the way through the certification process. As organic allies—not gatekeepers—we’re known as the certifier other certifiers trust.
Why Organic?
Choosing organic is about doing right by your customers, your community, and the land.
When you get certified organic, your commitment is backed by the trusted USDA and PCO Certified Organic seals, which show buyers that your product meets strict federal standards.
Organic practices support healthy, natural food and other consumer products, strengthen operations of every size, and preserve soil and water for generations to come. By working with the land instead of against it, organic production supports healthier ecosystems and stronger local economies.
PCO is here to help, offering organic certification services for farmers, processors and handlers, retailers, brokers, private labelers, and livestock operations every step of the way.
