Members are not customers of the scheme. They run it — they inspect each other, elect the committee and vote on the standard they are held to.
Dues
Membership dues are set by the group and are not published here yet. The administrator can confirm the current figure for each tier.

Dues paid for the year

Governance
Fourteen sections, agreed by the members
The constitution sets how members join, how inspections are run, how money is handled and how disputes are decided. A cluster holds ten to fifteen people, at least seven of them farmers.
The constitution is not published on this site yet. Members receive it at registration.
