If you can demonstrate at least 3 years of compliant management of the land then you can get certification in as little as 12 months under Australian Regulations or immediately after your initial audit for USA organic regulations. If you do not have any previous records for the land, organic certification can not be granted until 3 years of compliant management of the land has been demonstrated.
