Real Organic Project is a farming-focused organization based in East Thetford, Vermont, whose mission is to deepen understanding of traditional organic values and practices. It aims to create an add-on label to USDA certified organic to improve transparency about organic farming methods. In 2026, OneCert partnered with Real Organic Project to provide dual inspections at no cost, reflecting collaborative efforts to support its certification approach. The organization describes itself as family farmer-driven, incorporating centuries-old organic practices alongside new ecological farming science. It emphasizes that crops grown in soil and livestock raised on pasture-based systems are fundamental to organic farming, linking soil health to healthy crops, animals, people, and climate. The Real Organic Project launched the Real Organic Standard in 2021 to visibly differentiate from the USDA Organic scheme.
