Membership

Membership open to

All accredited organic certification agencies

All NOP-accredited certification agencies are welcome to join the ACA. Membership cost is based on the number of certified operations of the certifier in the Organic Integrity Database.

Certifying agencies applying for accreditation

Certification agencies in the process of applying for NOP accreditation are welcome to join as provisional members while their application is being processed. These members have access to our best practice documents and educational activities.

Material review organizations

Material review organizations (MRO’s) are an important part of the organic chain. We welcome MRO’s to join as members and participate in our annual conference events and other educational opportunities.

Organic community members other than certifying agencies

We value the input of our associate members who include organic inspectors, organic product producers and input providers, consultants working to support the mission of organic, and advocacy and trade organizations. We would love for your to share your expertise with our members.
