One App. Hundreds of producers. FCF provides an online community connecting Health Canada licenced cannabis producers through vetted channels, updates, and member service access.

Cannabis farming benefits from trusted peer connection and shared standards. The NFCF Online Farming Community brings together Health Canada licenced cannabis producers and vetted industry professionals inside a private online community, delivered through an all-in-one app.
Membership access follows a consistent process. Every grower goes through the same application process. After a membership application is processed and reviewed by the Board of Directors, onboarding triggers through an automated flow and grants immediate access to the community.
The channel and community structure supports both broad coordination and topic focus.
Public channels support organization-wide discussion, program updates, and key announcements across the broader membership base.
Private members-only channels support content-specific discussion across a variety of member channels. These channels keep conversations focused while supporting knowledge sharing and business opportunities.
Engagement drives deeper access. The community tracks engagement where increased discussion unlocks additional channels over time. This rewards participation and supports stronger community exchange.
The Online Farming Community accommodates members from all FCF regions, FCF organizations, and NFCF members. The growth target brings together 300+ producers in one shared space. This community also serves as the member services hub that connects access to the Verified Buyers Program, Membership Benefits, and additional membership services.
FCF Community Membership provides producers access to NFCF Member Services, the Online Cannabis Farming Community, and eligibility to enrol in programs like the Cannabis Agriculture Leadership Program (CALP).
Online access activates after the membership application is processed and reviewed by the Board of Directors. Automated onboarding then grants entry to the online community. Application processing takes 1-2 weeks.
The Cannabis Ag Leadership Program (CALP) is for FCF Community Members in upper management production roles at Health Canada licenced facilities, with one candidate per licence accepted each year.
Academic Research Projects link colleges, universities, and research groups with FCF and Trusted Labs Partners to produce evidence-based research and farmer-ready reports that supports both the industry and the consumers.
Verified Buyers standardizes B2B sales through a 0% commission broker platform with standardized listings, advanced search tools, and a transparent buyer report card system for reputability visibility.
Ethical cannabis advocacy follows democratic member direction, evidence-led positions, and transparent governance. NFCF's national objective focuses on AAFC agriculture program access for farmers.
NFCF National Membership is delegate-based. Regional FCF organizations and NFCF-approved industry associations appoint National Members to guide priorities, elections, and national governance.
Member Services include the Online Farming Community, research participation opportunities, Trusted Labs Partnership discounts, access to the Verified Buyers Program platform, and more.
Farmer-Led Research and Development Trials start with member-led proposals and require approval by both Officers and Directors. Projects must benefit FCF farm members and the future of cannabis farming in Canada.
Trusted Industry Lab Partnerships are Board-approved Health Canada licenced third-party labs in support of public domain research and education that creates a positive impact for the future of Canadian cannabis farming.
Buyers receive a 0% to 100% authorized rating from producer feedback surveys. Scores appear on an in-app leaderboard. If a buyer's score drops below 50%, a review will be held. Low scores are grounds to revoke membership.
Unifying FCF organizations and NFCF-approved associations strengthens national representation across provinces and supports commodity board alignment for CFA engagement and broader agricultural opportunities.
