I want to congratulate Backyard Farms for its recent certification by GlobalGAP, which recognizes the outstanding quality and safety standards of the company’s products.

Backyard Farms, an innovative business based in Madison, is the first grower of its kind in the United States to meet GlobalGAP standards.

Backyard Farms, which employs about 200 people, is a shining example of what forward-thinking businesses can achieve here in Maine. This company’s success makes our local economy that much brighter and will inspire future entrepreneurs to dream big and think outside the box.
