You're Already Growing the Future
If you're farming without animal inputs — no manure, no bone meal, no blood meal, no fish emulsion — then you're already most of the way to biocyclic certification. You've been doing the hard part. Now let's make it official.
What You Get with Certification
- The Biocyclic Vegan Quality Seal — a globally recognized mark that tells consumers and buyers exactly what your farm stands for.
- Access to the International Biocyclic Vegan Network — connect with producers, buyers, and advocates around the world.
- Market differentiation — stand out in farmers' markets, wholesale, and direct-to-consumer sales with a certification that truly means something.
- Alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals — your farming practices, recognized on a global stage.
- A community of like-minded farmers — you're not alone in this. Join a growing movement of growers who believe the soil comes first.
Who Qualifies
Any farm already operating without animal inputs is eligible. This includes fruit and vegetable growers, grain and herb farmers, wine grape producers, and more. No livestock farming of any kind.
You must be able to document your animal-free practices — but if you're already growing this way, the paperwork reflects what you're already doing.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. The certification recognizes what you're already doing. If you're currently farming without animal inputs, your practices already align with the standard. The process is about documenting and verifying what you do — not changing it.
An independent soil auditor visits your farm to verify that your soil amendments, inputs, and practices meet the Biocyclic Vegan Standard. It's thorough but straightforward for farms already operating animal-free.
You receive the Biocyclic Vegan Quality Seal to use on your products, packaging, and marketing. You're also listed in the international producer directory and connected to the global Biocyclic Vegan Network.
