The USDA NOP has put out an Organic Resource Guide to help potential and current organic operations.  The USDA NOP has also put together a toolkit that helps farmers and businesses answer the question, “is organic an option for me?”   The National Organic Program has put together several helpful resources in the last few years.

The organic resource guide can be found at: http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/getfile?dDocName=STELPRDC5100093
