MOFGA cited for deficiencies 2nd year in row
Bangor Daily News - 1/31/2009.
UNITY, Maine — The only organization in Maine authorized to certify organic farming operations in the state has failed federal inspections for the second year in a row. The deficiencies cited by the U.S. Department of Agriculture delay recertification of the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association’s Certification Services LLC. Despite the news, Russell Libby, executive director of MOFGA, praised USDA’s actions Friday, saying the agency “is finally doing its job and making sure that organic certifiers are up to snuff.”
