Wolf & Associates, Inc.

Wolf & Associates, Inc. has incomparable knowledge and a depth of experience in every link of the organic and sustainable supply chain, from farm to retail shelf. Since 1995, we have been helping our clients navigate what can feel like a confusing maze of organic rules. Whether you’re looking for advice on organic certification, building an organic and sustainable work culture, compliance, farming practices, or ongoing support with strategic direction, we make the complex rules easy to understand and bring unrivaled competence and knowledge to our work. In March 2024, new regulations under the Strengthening Organic Enforcement (SOE) initiative came into full force in the U.S. organic market, driving the most significant change in organic regulatory landscape in 20 years. This impacts 100% of certified organic operations and strengthens organic integrity of supply chains and finished goods alike. Give us call or drop us a line if you could use some guidance for compliance so you come out at the head of the pack. We deliver the strategic expertise to help organic, socially and environmentally responsible products and projects reach their full potential—and flourish.
