If any of this sounds familiar, you need Fair Farms.

Audit Coming Up

A buyer has asked for proof of social compliance and you're not sure where to start.

Labour Hire Pressure

You're using labour hire or seasonal workers and need to show you're doing it properly.

Retailer Requirement

Coles, Woolies or Aldi have told you that you need certification to keep supplying them.

One program. Built here. For here.

Fair Farms is Australia's only industry-owned social compliance certification program for horticulture. Recognised by Coles, Woolies and Aldi as an approved pathway for growers to prove fair and ethical employment practices.

Unlike international programs, Fair Farms is benchmarked against Australian workplace laws. Built by industry, for industry. Supported by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.

Whether you're a mum-and-dad operation or running multiple sites, there's a pathway that fits.

For growers who want to benchmark against the standard and improve HR compliance without a third-party audit.

Non-Audit Pathway — $150/year

For growers who need full certification, including an independent audit from one of six approved bodies.

Standard Certification — $250/year

For labour hire providers who want to show growers and regulators they're operating to Australian workplace laws.

Here's what growers usually ask us.

  • Yes. More than a third of our members employ fewer than 20 workers. The Non-Audit Pathway is built specifically for smaller growers who want the framework without the full audit process.

  • The Fair Farms Employer Manual is built around Australian workplace law and contains policies and templates that support any compliance process. Many of our members use it to close out audit findings.

  • Fair Farms is specifically designed for the Australian domestic market and is recognised by Coles, Woolies and Aldi. If you're supplying these retailers, certification makes the supplier approval process significantly simpler.

  • Fair Farms is focused on Australian domestic supply. If you're exporting, we can talk about how Fair Farms fits alongside any international compliance requirements you may also need.

  • Most growers complete the Online Self-Assessment in 1–2 hours, then work through any training and documentation needs before scheduling an audit. Your discovery call will map out a realistic timeline based on where you're starting from.

  • Non-Audit Pathway is $150/year. Standard Certification is $250/year plus the cost of your third-party audit. We'll walk you through the full numbers on the discovery call.
