The BFF second-party verification program requires an annual certification fee of $45.00 USD due yearly on the grower’s anniversary date of certification. Every third year of BFF certification, members will be required to complete a Three-Year Compliance Form. The compliance form follows the same process as your initial application for certification and will allow you to show us how you are continuing to help pollinators, express any changes to your operation over the last three years, and ensure that you receive continued recognition for your accomplishments. Submission of all required documentation and associated

Compliance Form are due one month prior to the anniversary of your certification. This process should take approximately 30–45 minutes to complete when the proper documents have been previously prepared. Are There any Additional Resources Available? Pollinator Partnership has prepared several guides to aid in your pollinator habitat project efforts. The Bee Friendly Farming Handbook (https://bit.ly/beefriendlyfarminghandbook) can be used to learn the ins and outs of the BFF program.
