The Division of Food Safety is your best resource on Florida food regulations and licenses. You can visit their
website at http://www.doacs.statefLus/fs/
If you're selling plants in dirt(nursery plants);you need a Nursery License. Contact Division of Plant Industry
in Gainesville 352-372-3505. They will send an inspector out to see your plants and fill out an easy form. Entry
level fee is$25. As your nursery stock increases,so does the annual inspection fee.
If you want to label your produce as "Organic", it must be certified by an approved certifying agency - but,
you're exempt from organic certification if you grow or handle less than$5,000 gross sales from organic produce.
However,you must still be in full compliance with the National Organic Program's (NOP)rules and regulations.
Florida Organic Growers (FOG) is the state's approved certifying agency in Gainesville 352-377-6345. You will
need to document that the land you're growing on has met organic standards for the past three years.
Certification fees are based on how many acres you have under organic production. Certification fee for a 0-20
acre plot is approximately$425. Certification for a 200 acre farm is approximately$550. Certification takes 60-90
days and includes an inspection.
Florida doesn't currently have cost-share program to help pay for the Certification process, but funding may
come from the USDA National Organic Program(NOP)to help offset the expense. The FOG maintains a waiting
list for cost share funding. Erin Mullane is the Organics expert at the State Department of Agriculture-she can
be reached at 850-922-9928.
