Organic Conversion - which Certification?

[patrickr321]

Hi all

We are planning to go through organic conversion We are based in West Wales with 75 acres permanent pasture: sheep, tack cattle and plans to grow some cash crop. I've looked at Soil Association and BDA as potential certification bodies. Wide question, but does anyone have any experience of either body and things to look out for when starting down the road?

Thanks

Patrick

OF&G! We don’t always see eye to eye but they are usually sensible and receptive to reasoned argument . I have no experience of SA but I’ve been told on several occasions that they are very hard to deal with

When I looked, the SA were the cheapest & most recognised
