Regenerative Organic Certified® is a certification program that recognizes agricultural practices that go beyond organic farming to promote the health and regeneration of ecosystems, communities, and soil. It was developed by the Regenerative Organic Alliance (ROA) to create a higher standard of agriculture that addresses environmental, social, and animal welfare concerns in a more comprehensive way than traditional organic farming. 

The program has 3 levels - Bronze, Silver, Gold.

Gold represents the highest achievable level in regenerative organic production demonstrating 100% commitment of the operation to the standard. We know many conscious consumers look closely at certifications when making purchasing decisions.

You can feel confident in Yerba Madre knowing we have the highest level of certifications.  

Sun grown yerba mate contributes to monocropping and deforestation vs. shade-grown systems where yerba mate is grown under the canopy of native forest remnants or under restoration agroforestry systems. 

All Yerba Madre mate comes from our Shade-grown Verification Program promoting the conservation and restoration of the Atlantic Forest.
