Welcome to the Game Farmers' Association
The Game Farmers' Association (GFA) is a trade organisation dedicated to the production of quality gamebirds for the UK shooting industry.
Many shoots in Britain rely on hand-reared gamebirds, released into the countryside during the summer to supplement the wild stocks before the winter shooting season begins. Good game farming ensures that these birds, mostly pheasant and partridge, are strong, fit and ready for the natural environment in which they will live.
Most game farmers in Britain are members of the GFA and the Association represents their interests, as well as encouraging everyone who rears game to follow high standards.
The Association was founded over 80 years ago and now has in excess of 200 game farming members. Its most important publication is the GFA Code of Practice, first published in 1999, a charter for good game rearing which is now the accepted industry standard.
