We have the same problem in the U.S., Donica, the board of directors of 
the certifying agency has drifted more and more toward the corporate 
farmers and the fees are becoming to high for most small farmers.  The 
local farmer's market hosts farmers who advertise on their product 
tables that they are "better than organic".  I support their boycott of 
the certification process and costs.
