Cost of Production for Organic Salad Greens

The following resource is part of the 2021 series of organic cost of production (COP) models prepared by the Organic Council of Ontario with support from the Canadian Organic Growers. These resources were developed by independent consultants with expertise in each of their respective fields of production, and are based on financial data voluntarily provided by Ontario organic producers.

Each resource contains a guidance document (PDF) which provides an overview of the methodology, assumptions, and guidance for how to complete the accompanying cost of production budget spreadsheet. The cost of production budgets are excel spreadsheets which present an average cost of the participating producers, as well as space for you to fill out your farm’s revenues and expenses.

You will also receive a webinar recording with resource author David Cohlmeyer who shares important details to consider when calculating your cost of production and provides a review of how to best use the cost of production calculator tool included in the bundle.
