Certified USDA Organic Hemp!
USDA Organic Hemp is here...or at least in Canada. The Organic Producers Association of Manitoba (OPAM) provides a "credible certification system" in order to "promote organic food production and consumption." Manitoba Hemp's "certification specialist" has been busy...their home page boasts eight "certs" including a the "USDA Organic" seal of approval. It turns out that OPAM is an USDA Accredited Certifying Agent (ACA) and, therefore, can bestow the seal on anyone complying with the USDA requirements. A quick glance at the USDA 'question and answers' page reveals that all "naturals" are allowed unless prohibited on the National List." And yes, I did check the National List...hemp is not on there.
