Organic farming is an alternative for environmentally friendly rice cultivation technology. The study aims to know the application level of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) of organic rice and the different application level of organic rice SOP based on farmers demographic. There were 58 farmers involved in the census of Ngudi Rejeki Farmers Group. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results show that the application level of organic rice SOP was classified in high category especially in land preparation, planting, maintenance, nursery, and post-harvest. Even in the harvesting and seed selection, they were in very high category. Meanwhile, the place of seeding, replacing the dead seed, irrigation, and milling were still in the medium category. Some factors including formal education, production facilities access, market prices, and cosmopolitan levels led to the different application of organic rice SOPs. Conversely, the age of farmers, non-formal education, organic rice farming experience, and land area did not result in different SOP application of organic rice. It is recommended that farmers make dikes, use fertilizer when seeding, and have a good irrigation regularly. Formal education and cosmopolitan life style of the farmers became the main consideration for the group to obtain organic food certificates.
