Guest guest Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Greetings to all raw friends! We are proud to present updates on our raw foods supporting business pursuits. For those who have read about it already, the main changes to the documents addressed below are: the Methods document; the Partnering document; the " Update " section of the Track Record document; some line items regarding animal welfare in the Objectives document; and the deletion of the last line of the old last paragraph, and the addition of a new last paragraph, in the Background document. Please review and give us feedback! http://www.RawSeattle.org/~SRI/Objectives.doc http://www.RawSeattle.org/~SRI/Record.doc http://www.RawSeattle.org/~SRI/Methods.doc http://www.RawSeattle.org/~SRI/Partnering.doc http://www.RawSeattle.org/~SRI/Background.doc Thanks a bunch, Eric, Orion, Superior Returns, Inc.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Greetings, I do hope Superior Returns can generate good income for you. I was looking through organicvolunteers.org not long ago and noticed that the smaller farms noted that they were organic but could not afford to be certified. I was curious as to the costs of certification and looked today on the internet and found that it costs $300 to apply for certification, plus $50 per additional site if you have more than site where you farm. Then you have to pay a yearly fee to maintain certification which is based on the amount of sales you make. This covers certification in the United States. You have to pay a $200 fee to apply for certification if you will be exporting to Europe. (See http://agr.wa.gov/FoodAnimal/Organic/docs/Producer/NewAppFeeInfo_% 2004w.pdf for an explanation of the standards and fees.) One idea that I had would be for Superior Returns to help small farms achieve and maintain certification in return for some free produce that would be available first to Superior Returns investors and also to Seattle Raw members.
