I am a farmer
We are building the first third-party verified ownership certification in the food system. And we are asking the farmers it belongs to, to build it with us.
On your packaging. On your website. At the farmers market. Farmer owned.
Because it matters. Because it is true. And because when someone buys from you, they deserve to know exactly who they are supporting.
“The problem is, anyone can say it. There is no standard. No third party. No proof.”
Big brands put farmers on their labels every day without owning a single acre. “Farm fresh.” “Family grown.” “Farmer owned.” These words have been borrowed, stretched, and emptied out. There is nothing standing behind them.
You built something real. It is time the mark on your product proves it.
Our Farms is building the program. Farmers will own what it means. Here is what your investment creates.
Clear eligibility criteria. 51% farmer equity ownership, verified through USDA FSA records, Schedule F, and co-op documentation. Third-party audit by Where Food Comes From. No ambiguity. No loopholes.
Minimum three active farmer seats with real voting authority. The board decides what “Certified Farmer Owned” means, not investors, not consultants, not us.
Filed as a certification mark under Section 1054 of the Lanham Act. Protected. Enforced. Yours. No corporation can take it, rebrand it, or dilute what it stands for.
Founding cohort members are grandfathered into packaging use rights. Your investment buys the mark on your product from launch day, with no additional annual licensing fee.
National Farmers Day. Named retail partner. Verified founding cohort. A press moment built around you, the people who grew it.
Designed from day one to meet ISO/IEC 17065 international requirements. What starts in the United States will follow wherever farmer-grown food is sold.
A certification that belongs to farmers should be funded by farmers. The people who invest at the start set the standard, sit at the table, and get grandfathered in.
Choose your commitment.
Our Farms, Inc. is building toward 501(c)(3) status. Consult your tax advisor regarding deductibility. All investments fund program development and are not equity in Our Farms, Inc.
Your name and farm are part of the permanent record of this program. The people who built it will always be known.
Use the mark on your packaging from October 12, 2026. Grandfathered in for life. No annual licensing cost as long as you remain certified.
What “Certified Farmer Owned” means is decided by the governance board. Founding cohort members shape who sits on it and what it stands for.
We are securing a named retail partner for launch. Certified brands in the founding cohort are the first names on that shelf.
Over 80% of consumers hold a positive view of the farmer-owned label. That is one of the highest trust signals in the food system. This mark makes it verifiable.
After launch, the program runs on licensing revenue from new applicants. Your investment is a one-time bridge. The mark you helped create will outlast all of us.
“Our Farms is the steward of this program. Farmers are its owners. We are building the infrastructure. You are building what it means.”
We are looking for a small group of real farmers willing to commit to something that should have existed twenty years ago. If that is you, the door is open.
