Made in USA Inc. is waiving $6,150+ in eligible audit, onboarding, registration, and initial certification fees for the first 10,000 qualifying small family farms and ranches.
Enroll through an approved affiliate and your Small Farm Scholarship plan is reduced from $240/month to $120/month while your farm remains eligible and current.
Certification is subject to verification review and is not guaranteed. This is a Made in USA Inc. company-funded scholarship/discount program, not a government grant.
Product of USA certification is only valuable if there is evidence behind it. The scholarship helps you organize the records behind your origin claims, complete the verification process, and publish trusted proof that buyers and consumers can understand.
Rigorous, independent review of the origin claim and supporting farm/supply-chain evidence to confirm compliance.
A structured, verified digital record of your operations, products, origin claims, and soil/livestock credentials.
Collection and secure organization of supplier declarations, affidavits, invoices, and harvest records.
Dedicated personal guidance through intake, evidence collection, and program audit questions.
Official permission to use our secure, high-credibility Product of USA Certified seals upon successful review.
A scannable QR path connecting buyers and consumers directly with your verified cryptographic ledger farm record.
A beautiful public-facing identity layer designed to build consumer trust and highlight family-farm transparency.
Evidence mapping appropriate to your specific operation: lot, field, harvest, flock, batch, or livestock records.
Machine-readable verification infrastructure designed to help trusted systems easily discover your verified claims.
For many small farms, the barrier is not believing in verification—it is paying thousands of dollars before the process even begins. We cleared that barrier completely.

For FSIS-regulated meat, poultry, and egg products, USDA's updated voluntary U.S.-origin labeling requirements became mandatory for users of those claims on January 1, 2026.
For a single-ingredient product to use "Product of USA" or "Made in the USA," the animal must meet the applicable U.S. birth, raising, slaughter, and processing requirements, and supporting documentation must be maintained. Made in USA Inc. helps organize and independently review the evidence behind your origin claims.
Different rules can apply to different product categories. Product of USA Certified does not replace a producer's obligation to comply with any applicable USDA, FDA, FTC, state, or other legal requirements.
