Think organics, think BioGro

Look for our logo

aboutorganics

What does BioGro’s logo mean? It guarantees that the highest organic standards have been met every step of the way i.e. products have been produced in accordance with our internationally recognised Organic Standards. These standards exceed the New Zealand government certifier’s minimum requirements for organic food in many areas, especially in relation to GMO's, the use of pesticides and conventional animal health treatments. Our goal is to promote the highest of organic integrity. We achieve this because we are an independent organisation.

Certified Organic (international)

This logo is used by producers certified under BioGro’s internationally recognised organic programme. This programme covers all organic production, processing and services  and enables producers to sell their products/services to regulated overseas markets.

Certified Organic (domestic)

This logo is used by producers certified under BioGro’s Domestic Organic programme. This programme is designed for primary producers supplying fresh produce or processed products made from their own produce within New Zealand.

Producer Profile

Millton Vineyards and Winery (BioGro No.99)

Organic winemaking pioneer James Millton sees BioGro as a profound and internationally recognized trademark. ‘Being certified as biodynamic is one thing, but getting into particular markets is more difficult, hence the need to be certified organic by BioGro’.
