NOFA-NY Certified Farms The NOFA-NY Certified Organic, LLC has been the primary farm certification program in New York State since 1984.  For the farmer and processor, organic certification is a marketing tool which assures customers that the product is organically grown and processed.  Consumers purchasing food that is "Certified Organically Grown" are encouraging the expanded use of organic farming practices that promote healthy soil, water and air, thus healthy animals, plants and environment.  NOFA-NY Certified Organic, LLC certification is based on grower documentation and includes annual farm visits by field representatives to verify the farming practices of the farmer. There are currently 522 farms, dairies or processors certified organic by NOFA-NY Certified Organic, LLC as of May 30, 2008 with 10 remaining transitioning dairies and 60 more first year applicants to organic certification pending.
