Farmer members sign the pledge, supply the information the group needs to assess them, and attend at least two other farm visits a year.
OPP §I, §3.2
Consumers join the same group on the same terms. They sit on farm visit committees — a visit has at least one consumer on it — and they take part in the quarterly meetings where the group's work is planned.
OPP §3.1, §3.3
Independent retailers and markets that source organic produce from the group's farms join as members and attend the visits from which they source.
OPP §3.1, §3.3
The people and farms listed here are members of the Outeniqua Natural and Organic PGS group. Membership of the group is not a certification, and does not by itself mean that a farm is certified organic. A certification decision is a separate judgement made by the group's certification committee against the SAOSO standard, and is recorded as such. Please do not read this list as a claim about any farm's organic status.
The member list is being prepared for publication. names & consent — POPIA
A farmer must be a paid-up member to be assessed, and only fully paid-up members are eligible for a farm assessment. Membership is a requirement for any farmer wishing to be PGS endorsed — but endorsement is a separate judgement, recorded by the committee after a visit.
