- A 部分：提供關於生產者和農場、所有物的基本信息；
- B 部分：包括農場的歷史、整體願景和每年的管理實踐方式；

第一部分（SECTION A）
說明
目標：同儕審查的目標有兩個方面，第一，它的目的是驗證所定下的標準是否得到了遵守；同樣重要的是，同行評審為生產者提供了一個機會，讓他們與同行一起審查他們的做法，並思考如何改進他們農場的做法。
預備
| 農場審查團隊（Farm review team） | 生產者（Producer） |

同儕審查運用（Implementation of a peer review）
- 農場審查的第一部分應在「實地」進行，參觀生產中的地塊、儲存區和加工/包裝區；
- 農場審查的第二部分應該「圍著桌子」進行：你需要和生產者坐在一起，檢查所有不同的部分是否已經回答，此外，你可以進一步檢查收據、發票和種植登記冊。
同儕審查期間（During the peer review）
| 農場審查團隊 | 生產者 |
| 提出問題以確定是否符合標準，提供回饋和改進建議。使用此表記錄觀察到的、報告的和討論的內容，圖片也很有用。完成農場審查總結報告，並將其返回給負責人。 | 與農場審查小組一起走過農場/生產單位/地塊，回答問題並公開分享 |
請記住：你很容易被捲入具體的對話和討論，所以，請您在農場審查完成後再進行這樣的討論。記得依照進程，進行徹底的農場審查。
