Also "Dairy Farm" if you refer to a place that farms for milk but does not process it. (I just had this question asked a few times last week by different people). Also you probably would be willing to "certify" instead of "sign". Now for the "kosher" part. Just having a kosher certificate may not be enough - most serious orthodox jews would only accept kosher certificates by certain rabbinates or orthodox courts, and not just of any rabbi. Then again - a serious orthodox jew won't ask such a question in a place that is clearly ran by orthodox jews, as they understand what "kosher" means. Hence one may conclude that the visitor wasn't a serious pursuer or religious lifestyle, other then the possibly the kipa on his head.
