Starting an organic business has all of the risk and excitement of starting any new business, with a few additional challenges and a special set of satisfactions. What can beat the satisfaction, for example, of knowing that your customers trust and value your product because of the organic label it carries? That label means you've taken special care to develop your product using processes and ingredients that are safe for both the environment and people's health. Surely, the good will and personal satisfaction it brings are worth the extra effort to source approved and certified organic ingredients, do a little extra record keeping, and learn about approved processes.
In this section, we introduce you to resources that will help you understand the basics of starting an organic business. For new entrepreneurs we've also included some of the best resources nationally on starting and running a business. And, finally, we put you in touch with the best events, training programs and support services available. When it comes to learning the organic ropes, there's nothing more valuable than networking and learning at conferences and trade shows.
Browse through the sections that follow. Let us know if there's something missing that you need, or if you're aware of a resource or organization we missed.
