Alliston Herald: Organic food labels can cause confusion
More feedback emerged from organic farms who support OCO’s push for regulation of organic products this week. Cookstown Greens is the latest farm to make its voice heard on this issue.
“While there are responsible growers making such claims due to lack of regulation, it is still a buyer beware environment,” said Catriona Ffrench, one of the farmers at Cookstown Greens. “As well, the lack of regulation discourages some farmers from taking the extra step towards certification because they are able to skirt on the borders of organic selling without it.”
