(WFCF) (NASDAQ:WFCF), the most trusted resource for independent, third-party verification of food production practices in North America, today announced that on July 1, 2021, its Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend totaling $0.15 per common share.

This one-time special dividend will be paid to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 27, 2021, with a payment date of August 16, 2021.
