Inspectors

About

OEFFA inspectors must have appropriate experience and/or education in growing/processing and are generally trained by the International Organic Inspectors Association in the scope(s) they intend to inspect (crop/wild crop, livestock, or processing/handling). Training courses are approximately one week long for each scope. See IOIA’s website for training locations, dates, and cost.

Depending on prior experience, a prospective inspector may also be matched with a mentor and required to shadow her/him for several inspections and complete sample reports.
