Your Farmer Certified
What is Your Farmer Certification?
Your Farmer Certified is a unique endorsement scheme designed to recognise and support farmers who are committed to ecological and sustainable farming practices. Our certification goes beyond inflexible and narrow standards like organics, instead we focus on holistic farm management practices that benefit the environment, consumers, and farming communities.

Who Can Apply?
We welcome farmers of all types and sizes. Whether you're growing vegetables, raising livestock, or producing any other type of agricultural product, Your Farmer Certification is open to you. Our flexible approach recognises that each farm is unique and has its own path to ecological sustainability.
The Certification Process
Our certification process is designed to be supportive and educational, not prescriptive. It involves three main steps:
-
Self-Declaration: A commitment to ecological farming principles
-
Self-Development: Participation in workshops to enhance your ecological farming knowledge
-
Peer Review: A collaborative assessment process with other certified farmers
You can achieve different levels of endorsement as you progress through these steps, from Provisional to Full Endorsement.
Our Approach
We focus on outcomes rather than rigid rules. Our certification works across eight key areas:
Soil health
Water management
Biodiversity
Ecosystem integration
Economic sustainability
Social responsibility
Animal welfare
Farmer wellbeing
This holistic approach ensures that certified farms are not just avoiding harmful practices, but actively contributing to environmental and community health.
Join us in revolutionising agriculture. Whether you're just starting your journey in sustainable farming or you're looking for recognition of your established ecological practices, Your Farmer Certification is here to support and showcase your commitment to a better food system.
