Certification Fees
Rates (in US$) are based on the sale of growing space and input production. We wish to keep the price of annual certification at less than 1% of the farm’s gross sales.
Initial Filing Fee: $50
Annual fees
< 1 acre- $150 (*reductions may be made for this size based on income level)
1 to 2 acres- $200
2-4 acres- $250
5-10 acres- $300
10+ acres $350
*If you can’t pay the annual fees as a veganic farmer, please let us know anyway, submit your paperwork to us, so we can build a strong cross-border grassroots community of like-minded producers.
Are you already certified with Stockfree Organic, U.K. or biocyclic veganic agriculture? Consider continuing to become a supporter or member (certification will transfer if different NAVCS conditions are met than the other two).
Where does your money go?
Money from producers, members and supporters will go to:
Inspector fees are only collected on inspections, not from annual dues from non-farmer members or supporters.
Expenses to run the organization (website, domain name, Paypal banking fees, Zoom pro).
NAVCS Marketing.
Once all expenses are paid, annual scholarships will be offered.
The organization will operate exactly as a non-profit organization, however, fully funded by the vegan farm La Ferme de l’Aube.
