California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) has been certifying organic products according to its own standards since 1973. The USDA National Organic Program was implemented October 21, 2002. CCOF's organic program must now certify that food products follow USDA's National Organic Program.
FUNDING
CCOF supports its organic program from certification fees.

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) accredits all organic certifiers. Changes made to the National Organic Program and its standards are made through the USDA. Changes to the CCOF organic program (not including standards) receive final approval from the Board of Directors.
