What is ECOCERT?
According to their website, ECOCERT is a control and certification organization, whose activities are governed accordingly by the public authorities and legislation.

I think it means the farmers earn a living wage. I read about this in Self magazine and the workers have such a higher quality of life. I love that April Rain does this and wish more companies did.
