Don't Just Take Our Word For It...

“It’s both educational and comforting to have access through CNG to the wisdom of farmers with similar concerns and growing conditions."
- Liz of Owl's Nest Farm, MD

"One year, our alpaca pasture flooded and then we spent the summer battling the Colorado potato beetle. Thanks to advice from a fellow farmer during our inspection, our yield was actually quite high that year and we were able to recover. Being CNG is the most amazing professional development!"
- Chad and Xenia of Hole in the Woods Farm, IN

"We joined CNG to be a part of a community committed to better farming practices. We wanted the support and the credibility that goes with being part of an international body that certifies natural farming best practices. CNG is perfect for our farm because they believe what we believe. CNG is a terrific organization of people who all want to make a difference to our planet."
- Chris of Santa Rosa Ranch, BC
