The Burpee products we list

1BurpeeCompressed coir bricks, peat-freeOrganic Coconut Coir Concentrate Seed Starting Soil
Compressed bricks of coconut coir that expand with water into a seed starting and potting medium. Burpee describes it as a renewable alternative to peat moss and as OMRI listed. The OMRI Products List shows Burpee Natural & Organic Concentrated Seed Starting Mix as Allowed, in the coconut fiber category.
Good to know: The medium only, no seeds. Burpee's page also calls it "certified organic", but the claim we could confirm is the OMRI listing, which means allowed for use in organic production.

A container mix that Burpee says contains moisture-retaining coconut coir and plant food that feeds for up to three months. The product page says it is OMRI labeled for organic use, and the OMRI Products List shows Burpee Natural & Organic Premium Potting Mix as Allowed.
Good to know: Allowed for use in organic production, not USDA certified organic. The OMRI listing is held by the manufacturer, Vogel Seed & Fertilizer, which is the name to look for on the list.

Questions people ask
Is everything Burpee sells certified organic?
Not necessarily, and we do not claim it. Certification applies to individual products. We checked 2 Burpee products for this site, and 2 of them carry at least one of the certifications listed here. For anything else the brand sells, look for the seal and the certifier's name on that product's label.
How can I check a Burpee certification myself?
Each product below lists the pages we checked it against. For USDA Organic, search the USDA Organic Integrity Database for the company name. For GOTS, the GOTS public database lists licensed companies. Other seals are explained, with their lookup tools, on our labels pages.
