Does NOT	Doesn't mean organic — Non-GMO products can use synthetic pesticides and fertilizers freely.	Doesn't itself mean organic — pair with an organic mark for the full picture.	Membership-based — only farms that join the Naturland association can use the mark.	Provincial sales-only operations are not legally required to carry it (though many do voluntarily).
