iFarm Oregon

The average age of farmers in Oregon is 57 years old. Without a plan to get new farmers onto the land, with access to education, financing and markets, we stand to lose 25-50% of the land that is currently in agriculture production. In response, Friends of Family Farmers is developing a land and resource connection service with an online database that will help us grow our own next generation of family farmers.

iFarm Oregon database is now live – visit it here.

Please check back often as postings are continually added and the database is growing!

Where to start…

New and Young Farmers, find out how the program works, download our Landseeker Document and check out additional resources that will help you to start farming.

Experienced Farmers and Agricultural Landholders, enroll in the program to have your land or internship program listed, and find resources to help with farm transition.

Agricultural Educators and Service Providers, find out more about how this program can help you promote your classes, services, resources and opportunities for new and young farmers.

iFarm Oregon Forum, connect with others on a number of topics important to new and existing farmers on our newly created forum.

Generation Pitchfork

Despite popular belief, there are a whole lot of new farmers out there who are ready to dig in the dirt and start farming. By using our electronic clearinghouse, we can create a statewide network of people working to ensure success for the next crop of family farmers!
