<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Bee Friendly Farming (BFF) is a program that provides guidelines for
farmers and growers interested in promoting pollinator health on their lands. BFF
is about making positive, incremental changes on farms to support healthy
pollinators and pollinator habitat. Becoming BFF certified is affordable and
simple, and the seven easy steps in becoming a certified farm include offering
nutrition and habitat for bees, implementing integrated pest management
strategies, and paying a $45 annual fee. Each of the 800 currently enrolled
farms are an essential part of keeping our pollinators healthy and their food
supply abundant. BFF also incorporates science-based, sustainable guidelines
that make farms and their associated product stand out to consumers. Learn more
