USDA Organic Certified Operations Leads

USDA organic certified operations: newly certified and recently updated organic businesses from the public Organic INTEGRITY Database, with certifier, scopes, products, status date, city, state and a flag for operations not in the previous snapshot.

Get a clean list of USDA organic certified businesses from the public Organic INTEGRITY Database export. Each row has the operation name, operation ID, certification status and the date it took effect, the certifying agent, the certified scopes (crops, livestock, wild crops, handling), the certified products, the types of business (dairy, distributor, co-packer and more), certified acres, city, state, country and a link to the operation's INTEGRITY profile. A flag shows operations that were not in the previous snapshot, so you can find first-time listings. The data is business-level only. Contact names, phone numbers, emails and street addresses are not read or returned.

What is USDA Organic Certified Operations Leads?

Find newly certified and recently updated USDA organic businesses from the public Organic INTEGRITY Database: operation, certifier, scopes, products, status date, city, state and a new-registration flag. No login, no personal data. Run it from the Apify Console, the API or a schedule, and export the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

Why use it

• Public-domain USDA source. The data is the Organic INTEGRITY export published by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service.

What does this Actor do?

It downloads the latest public INTEGRITY snapshot of about 79,000 organic operations, filters it with the options you choose, sorts the newest status changes first and writes one row per operation. It also compares with the previous snapshot to mark operations that are new to the registry. The source is USDA Agricultural Marketing Service data, which is public domain. The files used are a copy of the USDA export with personal contact columns already removed, hosted on Zenodo. This is an independent tool and not an official USDA product.

Run in 30 seconds

1. Open the Actor and press Try for free (a free Apify account is enough).
2. Keep the prefilled input (status Certified, changed in the last 90 days, 100 rows) and press Start.
3. Open the Output tab. Use the table view or download CSV, Excel or JSON.

Use cases

• Build prospect lists of new organic growers, processors and distributors for packaging, equipment, insurance, lending or software sales.
• Track new organic certifications by state, product or certifier each month to size a market or spot supply growth.
• Check that a supplier or co-packer is currently certified for the scope and products you buy, and see when its status changed.
• Feed rows into an n8n, Make or Zapier workflow that adds new certified operations to a CRM and scores them by scope and acreage.

Limits

• Data comes from periodic snapshots and may lag the live INTEGRITY Database.
• Fewer rows than maxItems means fewer operations match your filters. Widen the days, drop the state or scope filter, or set status to Any.
• The isNewToRegistry flag depends on the previous snapshot being available and says nothing about operations that left and returned.
• Not legal or compliance advice. Confirm certification with the certifier or the USDA before relying on it.

FAQ

How fresh is the data? The Actor reads the newest snapshot available. Snapshots are periodic, not live, so very recent certifications can be missing. Each row shows snapshotDate and dataAsOf.

Does a status date mean the business is new? No. The date is when the current status took effect, which can also be a renewal or reinstatement. Use isNewToRegistry to find operations missing from the previous snapshot.

Do you provide emails or phone numbers? No. Personal contact details are not included. Use the INTEGRITY profile link for the official listing.

Is this an official USDA product? No. It is an independent tool that reads public USDA data. Check organic.ams.usda.gov for authoritative records.

Did this actor do the job? If it saved you time, a short honest review on the Reviews tab helps other people judge it. If something was off, open an Issue on this page with the input you used. I read every one and fix real bugs, usually the same day.

This Actor vs scrapesage/us-organic-operations-scraper: that one returns contact names, phones and emails. This one is business-level only, with no contact details, and flags first-time listings so you can find newly certified operations.
