Our member groups are our strength
NFFC members share a commitment to a sustainable family farm system – one that produces safe and healthy foods and results in vibrant, economically sound, rural communities in the US and around the world.
To become an NFFC member, an organization must be a grassroots group working on behalf of family farmers, ranchers, and/or fishers.
All member organizations must pay annual dues, set at 0.5 percent of the group’s annual budget, with a minimum of $250 and maximum of $1,000.
If your organization is interested in becoming a member, contact Meg Stratton at meg@nffc.net.
