In Ireland when we refer to a “family farm” it means its family owned.
This was due to the Land Acts which transferred ownership of farmland from landlords to the farmers.
Im not sure about exclusivity deals, I’ve heard if it in super markets, but we also have co-ops and farmers markets, so its possible for farmers to bypass that.
