I was recently appointed to the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB). The NOSB is a federal advisory board under the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service and makes recommendations on a variety of issues involving the production, handling, and processing of organic products. Each of the 15 NOSB members are appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture for a five-year term. With 16 years of certified organic farming experience, a passion for maintaining and improving the natural environment, and a commitment to growing and providing healthy, nutritious foods for my community, I am looking forward to serving on the NOSB board and the larger organic farming community.
