Friends of Family Farmers is only as strong as the network of people who turn to us for support, advocacy, and opportunities to grow!

There are a million reasons you connect to our work. Maybe you’re a farmer who learns new practices from our Oregon Pasture Network classes, found your land on Oregon Farm Link, or uses one of the laws we helped to pass like the Farm Direct Marketing Law or the 1,000 Bird Exemption. Maybe you’re an eater who values the connection we bring you to your local producers in InFARMations or buys meat direct from an OPN member in our product guide. Or maybe you’re a fellow farm and food advocate who values our collaboration and the way our programming helps provide complementary services and referrals to best serve our community. However you got here, FoFF wants you to know that our work isn’t possible without your support.

Give the gift of education for farmers, legislators, and community members working toward a more equitable, sustainable and diversified food system in Oregon. Support our work to grow together.  Become a member today!

Friends of Family Farmers was founded 17 years ago to give a voice to the small and mid-size, socially and ecologically responsible farmers when they felt like there was no place for them in the system. We have grown since then to include our programs like the Oregon Pasture Network and Oregon Farm Link, and we have remained accountable to our community. All our programming and advocacy work is directed by the continuous feedback of our program participants and our biennial survey and focus groups. Our community has guided us and we are so proud to serve all of you.

Now we are calling on you to help us in another way. Join FoFF as a donor member to show your support, fund the work you care about most, and keep building the food and farm system you want to live in.  Whether you are a farmer, community member, or food advocate, this is a place where we can all come together to achieve our shared goals.

Why become a FoFF Member?

Becoming a member with FoFF is a way to show your support for our work on behalf of Oregon farmers, make our collective voice more powerful to decision makers, and give us the unrestricted funding we need to respond to opportunities and threats as they arise. We can’t all be farmers and if you are a farmer, you certainly can’t be in every committee hearing or working group to help build a better system. Growing our base of committed supporters makes decision makers at every level take the issues we support more seriously. With your support we can do more good!

With FoFF membership, you can be part of this movement, and ensure that there is someone looking out for farmers’ needs in Salem, providing technical assistance in land access and pasture management, creating community networks for farmers, and helping them find new customers. 

This is your chance to live your values and help us rebuild our food system in a more ecologically sound, equitable, and accessible way. Like we always say, every person — urban and agrarian, farmer and eater — has the ability to make choices that can help regenerate our food system.
