Green State Farms (GSF), are an Irish Producer Organisation and Ireland’s only dedicated management organisation proactively planning on behalf of our members.
As a dedicated management organisation and licensed producer organisation, we are the only farmers organisation in Ireland with the authority to act on behalf of Irish farmers, rather than just lobby, represent or speak on behalf of Irish farmers.
We are a planning organisation and a doing organisation, actively working on behalf of farmers to ensure production systems reflect the requirements, needs and expectations of Irish farmers and Irish consumers, not the middleman.
We provide one-to-one management support via our purpose designed producer management systems to all of our members.
