TCO Cert History:

In 2003, a group of local organic operators formed a corporate body, OCIA Western Canada Regional Office and opened an office in Muenster, Saskatchewan, which was a central location for a growing number of Canadian organic farmers. Changes have occurred and this original company has morphed into TCO Cert with its head office now located in Humboldt, Saskatchewan. In 2012, TCO Cert was fully incorporated as a Canadian not-for-profit Corporation and took over operation of the Canadian activities. In mid-2014, TCO Cert gained accreditation by the CFIA. Providing excellent services and strong support to organic agriculture certification is central to TCO Cert’s mission.
