[Ctyfc] Farm Field Crew job posting

[Matt Simon]

Hey Travis,

Thanks for posting about this interesting development and its "on-site
organic farms."

I'm curious to know which agency certifies these farms? There doesn't seem
to be a listing on the database (
https://organic.ams.usda.gov/Integrity/Default)?

According to NOP,* if farms are not inspected, they can not claim to be
organic and are subject to fines.* (
https://www.ams.usda.gov/about-ams/programs-offices/national-organic-program).
The reason for this is to ensure that a national standard is met so all of
us can have confidence in what we choose.

As a certified organic grower, I'm happy to share our experience with
choosing a certifier and the inspection process. Feel free to call with any
questions.

Thanks,
Erin
