Linley Dixon farms certified organic vegetables in Southwest Colorado. In 2018, she began the pilot program for the Real Organic Project certification program — a farmer-led, “add-on” organic certification that highlights farms that foster healthy soils, pastures livestock, and are committed to organic principles across all their agricultural enterprises — and is now Co-Director, with Vermont organic farmer Dave Chapman. Real Organic provides the transparency that is often lacking in the marketplace and educates eaters about farming practices that will provide for a healthy future.
