Haki are not necessarily Organic Certified, but our members follow regenerative and organic practices. No synthetic pesticides, fertilizers or fungicides are used on our crops. The health of our farmers, buyers and ecosystem are a core value of ours. Many small scale growers are not able to attain organic certification because of the permitting cost, and the amount of administrative labor that goes into reporting all of these practices to maintain the organic label. This is actually an issue that is being worked on at the state and federal level to make certification more attainable for small businesses like the farmers in our collective. We have a great ecologically minded farming community here in the South Sound and you'll be happy to know that though most of us can't get the label certification, the bulk of small growers are already following these standards to the best of their ability.
