I've been involved with the Southern Family Farmers & Food Systems Conference because I believe the connections made there matter. It's where farmers find practical resources, organizations build partnerships, and good conversations happen.

If your business or organization serves farmers, I'd encourage you to consider sponsoring or exhibiting this year. We'd love to have you join us.

This is going to be awesome!!!

Let's talk about Groundwork.
Groundwork is CHFS's 12-week hybrid program designed for beginning and expanding producers. It's where farmers come to learn practical skills, connect with experienced mentors, and build a stronger foundation for their operation.
Because farming doesn't come with an instruction manual — and nobody should have to figure it all out alone.
Our next cohort kicks off this fall in Central Texas. If you're ready to grow your skills and connect with a community of fellow farmers, we'd love to have you!

For 20 years, FARFA has helped independent farmers and ranchers turn lived experience into policy change.

In May, FARFA will bring an expanded farmer delegation to Washington, D.C. with 10-12 producers meeting directly with Congress about what independent agriculture needs to survive and thrive.

$1,000 helps send one farmer to the Capitol 🏛️ Ensuring farmers have a seat at the table.
