MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS
We have three types of membership:

Full membership This gives access to all services, and is designed for existing organic beef or sheep farmers
Dairy Membership There is a market for organic cull cows, and this type of low-cost membership enables dairy farmers to market their cull cows into an organic market, as well as have access to other services including low-cost inputs.
In-Conversion Membership This is a low-cost membership for farmers who are planning to or have already embarked on the organic route. As well as the advantages of low-cost inputs, this membership also offers access to other organic farmers who have a great deal of practical experience, as well as local meetings, including technical meetings and farm walks.
For full details of each type of membership, click here.

DELIVERY NOTES
As a part of the unavoidable paperwork involved in delivering organic livestock to an abattoir, we have downloadable copies of our own delivery notes, as well as those from two of the main abattoirs.

Graig Producers Delivery Note - For all stock delivered to an abattoir we need to receive the top half of the Graig Farm Delivery note, either by post or by fax, here at Graig Farm. If you have printed delivery notes you can copy these as often as you like. Otherwise you can click here to download this PDF file, which will need to be printed off, filled in by hand and returned to us for each batch of livestock sold. Please remember to sign and date the form.

FARM ASSURANCE
Farm assurance is now required for all the major abattoirs we deal with. Without Farm Assurance we might not be able to sell your livestock in the best markets, at the best prices. If you don't have Farm Assurance, we strongly recommend that you speak to your certifying body about arranging Farm Assurance inspections, which can be done at the same time as your organic inspections.
