Why not source these beans from America and provide proof of 'organic' growing conditions?

I'm sure you can find some domestic, organic seeds somewhere if you're that concerned about it.

It does not say on the package but it has a label from Ecosert SA. I Google searched that, and it's an organic certification company based in South Africa, so perhaps they are grown there. It does specify on the package that they were packaged in the United States.

You ask an excellent question regarding the organic crop production disclaimer on our label. Our products have been approved and sold in California for years. The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) is a leader among states working to preserve the integrity of the term organic and the quality of organic production in our home state. Recent regulatory changes have created an opportunity for us to achieve approval for organic crop production and use the state's certified organic logo. We applaud the state's high standards and expect to be finished with that review process by the end of this year. Until then, we are required to display the disclosure. You may visit the CDFA website at http://apps4.cdfa.ca.gov/fertilizerproducts to verify the status of any product that has been reviewed by California. Be an informed consumer. Not all kelp on Amazon has even been registered to sell in CA. If the purpose for your garden is commercial food production in California, we recommend you wait until we have secured the official certification. If you purchased our product to help grow amazing vegetables (and anything else in your backyard) for your own consumption, get growing! Our kelp is sourced from Norwegian commercial suppliers who have already gone through California's and other organic review approvals. Enjoy your gardening this Spring. Tom Organics Rx

I don't know. I went to Nutrigold's website, but there is nothing there that indicates a foreign source. They do indicate that their sources are carefully vetted, selected, and all product source is tested for purity and quality. They also refer to "local sources". Those facts and the non-GMO indicator would seem to indicate, at least to me, that everything is sourced in the USA.

Although they present themselves as organic, when I received my 5 pound bag of seeds, there was not a USDA certificate label on it, that doesn't mean they aren't organic, The USDA requires farmers to pay high fees for the certification. They came in a clear cellophane bag, not the light protected type that you see illustrated, I was disappointed. The price is also a little high, I will probably, not, re-order from this company again. They do grow well, and is a tasty juice, that much I can say. Organic does not always mean GMO free, I am still researching and learning myself.

It states that they are imported but the country of origin is not given. If you click on the individual ingredients it states: Source: coming soon. I don't know if that means the source of the information or the country of origin.

In the USA it must be grown organic by you for you to state you're selling organic produce. Organic produce certification in foreign countries is beyond my realm of knowledge; I suggest you ask the seller or do further independent research online.Have a great day! :)

I am believing the distributor. I do not think that they are Genetically Modified as I to want to stay with Organic foods.

No, it's not organic. They are very good to start seeds though. No nutrients in them. They are just like insulation they use in housing construction. Very good for hydroponics.

You know what?.I was wandering the same thing.They claim it's organic,but no USDA stamp on it.I will call the company and ask for verification.

I have no idea if they are organic or not. Doesn't really matter if they don't grow - which they won't. Just to forewarn you: it's not YOU, it's the seeds! Another scheme to get our hard earned dollars into someone else's pocket. That seems to be the name of the game these days.

Hi there! We're obviously partial, but Source is Non-GMO Project Verified and American Humane Association certified while Raw is not. We also tell you where we get our whey (Northern California farms) while they are very vague. Finally, they're really not "raw," that's just a marketing tactic.

hey tom, the plants I bought are doing well and plan to buy some more, however they are still maturing and wont produce beans for a couple years yet.

I went to their website and saw nothing about being organically grown. I see nothing about their farming process, in fact. As I commented below to another poster, it's great that these are non-GMO, but nothing about being organically grown.

In my opinion, it cannot be called organic. If it is, then i can pretty much call whatever i want organic. Organic costs higher because of the certification and the way its grown, why would i pay a higher price if i do not know how it is grown, nor is there proof that it is organic

Apparently it is not required to be on the label. They say, ". . . we source products that are completely natural . . ." which means to me more than one country of origin, possibly. Their web address is www.jivaorganicfoods.com. Maybe they can answer.
