Regarding certification, I was speaking to the President of NASAA (National

Association of Sustainable Agriculture Australia) the largest organisation

of organic growers here, and I inquired about the cost of joining his

organisation and he looked at me and said, "Why join this oganisation it is

only a marketing edge to be a member, your name is good enough as a

marketing tool. Just print a sticker with, produced on XXX Hare Krishna Farm

and you will sell as much as you can produce."

 

A great vote of confidence in our name but in Australia we have a good

public profile in this regard. Now not to ruin it.
