At Cottrell Country Farm we are “All Natural.” What is All Natural and how does it vary from Organic? Organic certification is a certification process for producers of organic food and other organic agricultural products. In general, any business directly involved in food production must be certified. It takes time and money to become officially organically certified. An alternative to organic certification is to be “all natural.” In being all natural, we pride our farm in staying to basic growing methods. We grow our vegetables using only rainwater and never use harsh chemicals. What you get are farm fresh vegetables that you can taste the difference from mass produced, store bought, produce.
