What Verified Farmer-Owned Means

When you see the Verified Farmer-Owned label on a product or seller profile, it means:

  • The farm or maker has been personally approved by Our Farms
  • We’ve reviewed sourcing practices, product claims, and business info
  • The farm and facilities are traceable and located within the U.S.
  • The products are packed and shipped directly by the farmer or a fulfillment partner they trust

How we verify Farms

We work directly with farmers and regional producers to:

  • Review their practices – including growing, harvesting, sourcing, or making
  • Verify documentation – such as USDA certifications, licensing, or food safety plans
  • Confirm fulfillment capability – so orders arrive safe, fresh, and timely

While we’re not a third-party auditor, our internal approval process helps ensure you're buying from real, accountable producers that we know, trust and respect.

Why it matters

In a world of faceless grocery giants and vague supply chains, Verified Farmer-Owned gives you:

  • Confidence that your dollars are going to real farms
  • Clear insight into how and where your food was made
  • Direct support of rural economies and small businesses

This movement isn’t just about better groceries, it’s about building better communities, around better food, for a better world.
