Customers are directed to the Department of Agricultural, Weights, and Measures for information on the Grower’s List/Pesticide Use, Certified Producer, and Organic programs, and to the Farm Bureau for enrollment in the Ag. Order. 

These are all programs that are geared toward commercial agriculture.  Here is some additional information regarding these programs.

• The Grower’s List/Pesticide Use is a state program administered through our department for those in our county, specifically through the Pesticide Regulation Program.  It is for those who apply pesticides.  This program’s contact information: 858-694-8980 PRP.AWM@sdcounty.ca.gov  
• The Certified Producer’s program is generally for those who sell their produce at Certified Farmers’ Markets.  The organic program is for producers who grow their produce organically.  They are both state programs, but inspections, etc. for those in San Diego County are handled through our Agricultural Standards program.  This program’s contact information: 858-614-7786    AgStandards.AWM@sdcounty.ca.gov
