Trust & Certifications
How we verify our partners, what certifications mean, and why we hold ourselves to the same standard we ask of others.
How We Verify Partners
Every producer on Grown. goes through a verification process before a single product is listed. No exceptions.
We check documentation, certifications, and supply chain evidence. We re-check quarterly. If a partner's certification lapses, their products come down until it's resolved.
This isn't a badge we hand out. It's the floor.

B-Corp
We're in the process of becoming a Certified B Corporation. B-Corp is the most trusted certification in this space — every successful marketplace we admire (Thrive Market, Grove, EarthHero, Made Trade) holds it. The process takes 6-12 months. We started immediately.
“Plastic-Free” + “Regenerative” — Why Both
We use two terms deliberately.
Plastic-free is what people search for. It's risen 129% on Google Trends in 90 days. It's the entry point — the word that brings someone to the page.
Regenerative is what makes us different. It's rising, unclaimed, and under the ECGT it requires actual certification to use. No competitor in the EU has built a brand around it yet.
Together, they tell the full story: we ship without plastic, and we curate products that restore. One is about what we don't do. The other is about what the products actually achieve. Both are verifiable. Both are honest.
