Real Organic Project is a farmer-led nonprofit that defines and verifies organic farming based on soil health and pasture-based livestock practices. The organization operates an add-on certification program for farms already certified under USDA Organic or COR, using standards that exclude hydroponics and confinement livestock. It provides
inspections and a public farm directory to help buyers find Real Organic certified farms. Real Organic Project also produces educational resources, including a podcast, symposia, book clubs, and written content that explore organic policy, soil science, nutrition, and farm economics. The group engages donors and eaters to support participating farms and to advocate for organic rules that align with traditional soil-based and animal welfare principles. Its work connects farmers, consumers, and policy experts to strengthen organic integrity across the food system.
