US Farmed
U.S. Farmed™ Certified
U.S. Farmed™ Certified is a third-party audited standard, created by American Farmland Trust (AFT), that verifies a product contains at least 95% ingredients grown in the United States. It's the only certification of its kind for consumer-packaged goods, giving shoppers a trusted way to know their purchase supports American farmers. To earn certification, a company works with AFT to confirm eligibility, then undergoes an independent third-party audit of its ingredients and sourcing.
A Milestone Worth Celebrating
Announced in February 2025, this certification made Sue Bee® and Aunt Sue’s® the first honey brands in the country to earn the distinction, and made Sioux Honey the second manufacturer overall to be U.S. Farmed™ Certified.
Why It Matters
America’s farmland is disappearing. Thousands of acres are paved over, fragmented, or converted every day, and much of the nation’s remaining farm and ranch land is expected to change hands in the coming decades as aging farmers retire. By choosing U.S. Farmed™ Certified products, shoppers help support the American farmers and beekeepers who depend on that land.
Since 1980, American Farmland Trust has helped permanently protect millions of acres of agricultural land nationwide, advanced sound farming practices, and supported thousands of farm families through its “No Farms, No Food®” mission.
