Nicole Dehne is Certification Administrator for the Northeast Organic Farmers Association of Vermont. Andy Jones is Farm Manager at Intervale Community Farm. Maarten Samsom is an independent organic inspector. They speak with VPR's Jane Lindholm about how the sytem works and concerns surrounding the federal system.
