Welcome to "ON Organic"

Welcome to the March 2009 issue of ON Organic. This issue discusses certification and the new regulations as well as some articles from other newsletters. This marks the 12th monthly issue of this newsletter. We would like your opinion on the newsletter. Here is a link to a short survey to encourage you to tell us what you like about the newsletter and how can we improve the newsletter at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=nT1N6nJlQH8URmkBMRv1aw_3d_3d and I hope you can send us some thoughts, I value your opinion.

Thanks to Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario (EFAO) and Organic Council of Ontario (OCO) for forwarding this on to their email lists, and I encourage you to share it with other colleagues who may find it useful.
