Why Certify?

Growers utilizing NOL's Certification Program  have the security of knowing that their onions will meet the expectations of the consumer.  Therefore their onions and reputations are indeed "sweet."

The Certification Program adds a level of confidence in a market where there are no flavor standards for sweet onions.

Each field enrolled in our certification program is mapped into lots.  Upon harvest, each lot is tested - making sure the onions grown there meet our strict flavor guidelines. The lots that meet our criteria are then "certified" by our staff.

This certificate follows the individual lot of onions thorough the entire harvesting process - from the field to the market. The entire process is constantly checked and audited to ensure proper identification and labeling of "certified" product.
