Organic food: what the USDA Organic seal means, how to check that a farm or brand is really certified, farmers markets and local farms, and organic grocers and brands. Only products certified under the USDA National Organic Program can use the USDA Organic seal; you can look up any certified operation in USDA's Organic Integrity Database. Stores and brands below are commercial.
