Seeds – Oregon Tilth organic or USDA organic?

Planning to start an organic veggie garden, and wondering what the differences are between Oregon Tilth Certified Organic Seeds, and Usda Certified Organic Seeds? Any thoughts??

This is a great question! I know that Oregon Tilth requires all of the products in the process to be organic. I tried to find answers on the USDA site but being that it’s a government site, it’s not easy to navigate.

Here are the links:

http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/!ut/p/_s.7_0_A/7_0_1OB?navid=ORGANIC_CERTIFICATIO&parentnav=AGRICULTURE&navtype=RT

You can email Oregon Tilth and ask them directly. I am sure you they will be able to give a great answer.

Sorry I don’t have a better answer!
