Producer Renewal Payment

(Include new land fee below).
APPLICATION DEADLINE: April 15th is the application deadline for new producers operating in the standard growing season. We may accept applications at any time during the year from producers who operate outside of the standard growing season such as maple syrup, greenhouse, mushroom, microgreen, or poultry operations. Producers who are certified by another certifier and looking to switch their certification to OEFFA may apply at any time. Please contact us if one of these applies to you.

Application Fee


Base Application Fee – If you have never been certified, fees are based on projected gross sales from all organic products and services for your first 12 months of certification. If currently or previously certified, fees are based on your 2024 gross sales from all organic products and services. Organic Gross Sales will be verified at inspection. Certified operations may apply to the appropriate agency in their state for organic certification cost-share reimbursement. 


The Application Fee includes a $400 Inspection Base Fee. Additional inspection fees will be charged to operations that are complex, have multiple locations, or otherwise require additional time spent on-site, and for higher inspector travel costs. You can minimize additional inspection fees by being organized and well-prepared for inspection.

Livestock and Poultry Fee

If requesting certification for livestock or poultry for the first time, include OSP for Livestock & Poultry with application. Eligible for reimbursement.

Producer-Handling Fee

Read the Details
For producer certifying an on-farm handling operation. If certifying on-farm handling for the first time, include OSP for Handlers and calculate fee based on whether your operation will handle multiple-ingredient products. Operations that handle only single-ingredient products, or only provide a service such as roasting but do not mix ingredients, pay the lower fee. Eligible for reimbursement. Refer to OEFFA’s Handling Certification for Producers policy for what types of handling require Handling scope certification.
