Certified Naturally Grown

Certified Naturally Grown (CNG) provides certification for direct-market farmers and beekeepers throughout North America. CNG is a Participatory Guarantee System, relying on peer inspections to verify production practices meet certification standards. This approach strengthens the organic movement and supports direct market farms by fostering knowledge exchange and valuable connections between members of local farming communities. CNG certified producers gain access to marketing assets such as custom signs, twist ties and stickers. All CNG producers have a public profile on the CNG website that includes their application information and inspection reports. Find CNG farms near you at CNGfarming.org/map.
