The paper constructs an evaluation indicator system on family farm development quality， including characteristics， input， output and support indicators. Different from the existing indicator systems， this indicator system highlights the essential attributes of family farms， their resource endowment status and other characteristics. Based on the sample data of 1242 family farms from the three rounds of family farm questionnaire survey from 2017 to 2019，we calculate the comprehensive weight of the index using AHP-entropy method，and evaluate and analyze the development quality level of family farms from dimensions of totality，business type and region. The results show that 89% of the family farms are of medium or above-medium quality on the whole，suggesting that the quality of family farm development is generally fair，but still far from the requirements of high-quality. In terms of the business types of the farm， family farms with the combined planting and breeding have the highest development quality，while the breeding family farms have the lowest development quality. The evaluation results by region show that the development quality of family farms in Wuhan and Langxi are relatively higher than those in Macheng and Wuxue. Therefore，it is proposed that the government should increase support，standardize the registration of family farms and improve the identification standards of model family farms so as to enhance the development quality of family farms.
