Since the club has turned in to a money-making machine (which means anything over $5000.00/yr in the land of organic!) they are required to become Certified Organic if they wish to call their produce "organic". The club has chosen to get their certification through Oregon Tilth. The process requires planting certified organic seed and transplants, filling out an application (which doubles as the farms Organic System Plan), having a trained individual inspect the farm and finally going through a review process.
