produce is all grown without the use of any pesticides, GMOs, fertilizers and synthetic herbicides. Livestock that are CNG certified are raised ethically, mostly on pastures where there is adequate space for freedom of movement. With agricultural standards derived from the National Organic Program, the CNG certification system requires a farm or ranch to be fully committed to demonstrating organic and cruelty-free practices that comply with the NOP guidelines.

CNG distinguishes itself from other certification programs by boasting a more affordable certification, one that relies on farmer-to-farmer peer reviews to validate a farm (rather than inspections by third-party auditors). The non-profit believes that this certification system not only strengthens the bonds within the farming community but also minimizes the amount of paperwork and funds the farm undergoing certification has to provide.
