Ecocert inspector inspecting Roux Pecans

Yesterday and the day before Stephen Barrow, the Ecocert inspector put us to the test again.

In the past the inspection was done before the harvest. In 2006 we decided that a more comprehensive and informative occasion will be during harvesting and the start of shelling the nuts.

Stephen, diligent as always and very encouraging viewed the whole operation.

Many subjects about "organic" from A-Z were discussed. The guidance is appreciated by us all here.

Among other things, the procedures and expectations around the method of establishing the new block so as to conform to the certification requirements were most enlightening.

Due to the Ecocert practice of rotating inspectors, Stephen will in all likelihood not be doing it in 2008. We look forward to the time when again he is sent to Ramah.
