What is “U.S. Farmed”?

Celebrate the bounty of American farms with us—a testament to the dedication, passion, and hard work behind every product bearing the U.S. Farmed seal.

The U.S. Farmed certification is much more than just a label. It represents a commitment to strengthen and sustain American agriculture. By choosing U.S. Farmed certified products, you’re not just making a buying decision; you’re:

• Supporting farmers: When you choose U.S. Farmed, you’re sending a clear message: you value the work of American farmers and want to see them succeed. This translates to increased demand for American-grown ingredients, creating a more stable and profitable environment for our farmers, especially those facing the challenges who will farm the land next.

• Investing in the future: By encouraging domestic production, U.S. Farmed helps AFT preserve farmland, a vital resource for future generations. This ensures a secure and sustainable food supply for all Americans.

The U.S. Farmed seal is an independent, third-party audited certification and traceability standard that means the product carrying it was made with a minimum of 95% US-grown agricultural products. Choosing a product with the U.S. Farmed seal supports American Farmland Trust’s efforts to keep farmers on the land and permanently protect farmland in the U.S. By choosing a U.S. Farmed certified product, you not only know where your food is coming from, but you’re choosing to support farm viability and local economies for decades to come.

The mission of American Farmland Trust is big: to save the land that sustains us by protecting farmland, promoting sound farming practices, and keeping farmers on the land. To achieve these goals, AFT needs strong partners—companies, organizations, and committed individuals willing to embrace the challenges that stand in the way of a sustainable future for farmers, ranchers, and all of us who depend on working lands for survival. All of that begins with products grown on American farms.

When there is an opportunity to build partnerships with businesses that support American farmers, AFT is ready and willing to collaborate. A U.S. Farmed seal can help communicate to consumers that your products are made with ingredients grown in the U.S. At the same time, we work with partners to build holistic programs that provide resources, increase awareness, and work towards solutions that protect the land and support farmers.

American Farmland Trust’s mission is to save the land that sustains us by protecting farmland, promoting sound farming practices, and keeping farmers on the land. We’re proven leaders in conservation agriculture and recently launched the U.S. Farmed certification program so that consumers can more easily find products grown by American farmers and so we can continue to work in service to our nation’s farmers and ranchers. Through this program, our partner brands are helping ensure that resources in our Farmland Information Center database can more reliably get into the hands of farmers in their supply chains and that farmers can access free, 1:1 expert advice on topics like permanently protecting your farm, finding land in your state, and more.
