What is Bee Friendly Farming®?
Bee Friendly Farming® is a certification program that works directly with farmers to promote and highlight bee friendly production practices across North America. Bees and other pollinators provide one in every three bites of food we eat and are essential for a healthy tomorrow. Through BFF, farmers are directly involved in creating and maintaining habitat that benefits pollinators. By offering an affordable certification, BFF allows growers, ranchers, and producers to invest their time and resources where they matter most, putting plants and seeds in the ground to support pollinators.
