Oprah is reportedly getting into the organic foods and products business.

The New York Post reported on Monday that online fillings for the US Patent and Trademark Organization revealed that applications were submitted to trademark "Oprah's Organics" just last month. According to the filings, the Post reported, the name would be used for products including bath soaps and hair products, to foods including salad dressings, soups and beverages.

Earlier this year, a business registration was filed for "Oprah's Farm LLC," and the Oprah Winfrey Networks (OWN) business address was attached. The registration was filed with the Hawaii Department of Commerce & Consumer Affairs. At the time, Oprah's representatives declined to comment.

Following the Post's report on "Oprah's Organics," a rep for Oprah said the trademarks were related to Oprah's farm in Hawaii.
