Main farms
Main farms benefit from all the services offered by the Family Farmers Network (RFF). They form the core of the Network. They are also the only ones able to market their products through the fermierdefamille.org website and to use the Family Farmer designation.
Membership fees are $150 + taxes for the first year, then $200/year.
They are also responsible for collecting a subscription fee from subscribers, set at $28 (non-taxable), which is then paid in full to the Network. This contribution is an essential collective gesture: it helps ensure the continuity of the network's ongoing activities and the development of new projects for the benefit of all members.

Associate farms
Associate farms help enrich the offering of the Network's main farms by providing complementary products designed to enhance organic baskets or to be offered as additional orders to subscribers. These products may include fresh vegetables, small fruits, microgreens, eggs, processed products or any other complementary organic production.
Unlike main farms, associate farms do not market their products directly to the general public through the Network. Instead, they develop business relationships with main farms to promote a diversified, local and collaborative offering within the network.
Each year, the RFF produces and distributes a directory of main and associate farms to showcase the products and services offered within the Network and to encourage collaboration between farms. However, the Network does not guarantee any minimum sales volume to associate farms.
Membership criteria
- be certified organic;
- offer products complementary to the marketing of organic baskets;
- demonstrate a willingness to collaborate with farms in the network.
