MAEAP Recognition is:
This comprehensive, voluntary, proactive program is designed to reduce farmers' legal and environmental risks through a three-phase process:
​
1.) Education
2.) Farm-specific assessment
3.) On-site farm verification
​
The on-farm verification ensures the farmer has implemented environmentally sound practices.
​
The program's four systems (Cropping, Farmstead, Livestock, and Forest, Wetlands and Habitat) each examine different aspects of the farm. After becoming MAEAP verified, a farm can display a MAEAP sign signifying that MAEAP partners recognize the farm is environmentally assured. Visit the MAEAP website.
