About Us

BRINGING HIGHLIGHTED PUBLIC AWARENESS OF KOSHER DIETARY LAWS, AND ORGANIC AND NATURAL FOODS AND PRODUCTS TO EVERYONE.

The Kosher Organics Council is a worldwide organization founded in 2008 by a cross section of Rabbi's and observant lay leaders who saw the need for educating and building business and Jewish community support around the central theme of healthy and sustainable lifestyles.

The Kosher Organics Council provides individuals and businesses focused resources on the growing kosher organic and natural products market. Our organization serves as a source of advocacy for kosher dietary laws and as a center for environmental information, education and support for sustainable agriculture, natural health and wellbeing lifestyles.

Through our Green-K kosher certification services and Green-K symbol for organic and natural products, we provide the tools and techniques for businesses to reach the estimated $12.5 billion kosher market (as per the 2008 Research Report by Mintel); and the estimated $290 billion marketplace for goods and services focused on health, the environment, personal development and sustainable living (as per the Research Report by the Natural Marketing Institute).

Only those foods and products meeting the strictest standards of kosher law are permitted to display the Kosher Organics Council's trademarked Green-K kosher symbol.
