Need more information on the new Canadian organic standards and regulations? The new Canada Organic logo? OFCM works with the Organic Federation of Canada to develop and provide this information to producers and the general public. Check out our Standards and Certification page for more on the progress of the new organic standard, the implementation of the organic products regulations, and the Organic Federation of Canada. We thank the Organic Federation of Canada for their funding support.

We also thank the Canadian Wheat Board for the financial support they have provided to do market research in the area of local organic crackers. Our study will survey marketing and distribution of local organic crackers. Please check back in early 2009 to see the results of this study. The report will be available in PDF format.

Many thanks to the Winnipeg Foundation and all of our sponsors, whose generous funding make this website possible.
