All paid levels of membership (Certified, Associate, Social, Online Course) have free access to a complete Quality Assurance program as well as an Environmental Management Plan that they can implement on their own farm.

Membership is open to anyone supporting the Core Values of PROOF and is quite separate from the licensing process.

Become a Member:

Associate Member

Associate Members are not Licensees but to undergo a similar process to become members. Membership requires that farmers put into practice the PROOF Standards and submit a comprehensive self assessment and internal audit. Once membership is approved, the member may display their PROOF membership logo on their website and marketing materials. Associate Members will also be included in our online directory. This logo must not be displayed on any products, packaging, labels etc, or infer in any way that their farm or product is certified and licensed with PROOF.
