BioGro

Skeltons was the first product reseller to achieve BioGro certification, a status we retain.  This is the certification system preferred by growers as it has an international status and reputation, is affliliated with IFOAM, and has a very strict compliance policy.

We have been heavily involved in sourcing appropriate compliant input products to meet the needs of our organic growers.  Using our thorough understanding of the system, we devote considerable time and energy to assess which products and systems are authentic and credible so we can communicate this to growers.
