PROOF licenses farms and provides invaluable information for our producers but we are also involved in:

Providing information and help on pastured free range farming issues;
Providing training to assist our small farmer network to become profitable and sustainable.
Promoting pastured egg and meat producers that are a part of PROOF

Applying for Member status enables you to keep in touch with the latest news and information relating to developments in the pastured free range industry and to help maintain the resources needed to promote and encourage our free range farmers.

All paid levels of membership have free access to a complete Quality Assurance program that they can implement on their own farm as well as a free Environmental Management Plan for adaptation to each enterprise. Comes with full instructions.

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

Licensed farms are able to display a PROOF logo on product packaging and marketing material. Learn more about becoming a Licensed farm here ....
