FOOD DESIGNATIONS: BEYOND THE LABEL
C
ertifications like USDA Organic or NON-GMO Verified can provide consumers with
transparency, but they don’t tell the whole story about the farmers behind the
label. To highlight the practices and offerings from our local food businesses, we
added another layer of transparency to the Locally Grown Guide. In each listing, you’ll
see certification logos and our own set of icons that highlight practices beyond and
outside traditional certifications.
