The three-year transition period seems long, but I understand it is necessary. Are there any interim certifications or markets for farmers who are in the transition phase?

Just completed our organic certification process! The record-keeping was the most challenging part. My advice: start documenting everything from day one. The premium prices make it worth the effort.
