The main difference between Certified Regenerative Organic and Regeneratively Grown is the certification, with soil testing being a key factor. Certified Regenerative Organic farms undergo rigorous third-party soil testing to measure improvements in soil health, carbon sequestration, and ecosystem impact. In contrast, regeneratively farmed operations may follow similar practices but are not always required to test or verify soil health outcomes.
Both approaches emphasize biodiversity, but certification ensures strict standards with regular audits, while non-certified farms have more flexibility without formal oversight. While all our coffees are regeneratively grown, we offer certified regenerative options to give you that extra layer of transparency.
