Practical Approach

Garry Hannagan, NSW Farmer of the Year 2004 and Australian Certified Organic operator, says 'the bud logo gives you the marketing edge - everywhere you need it.'

Australian Certified Organic (ACO) currently certifies about 55% of the Australian organic industry and we estimate the bud logo appears on about 70% of all certified organic product in Australia. 

Educated consumers are happy to pay a fair price for the guarantee that the organic produce they purchase is supporting farmers like Garry who aim for ecologically sustainable practices.
