Please help. This bill will destroy or local food systems, allowing only farms with 80 acres or more to have farm stands.

‼️ DEADLINE EXTENDED - The new deadline to provide written testimony to oppose HB 4153 is Wednesday 2/11 at 1pm!

📢 CALL TO ACTION - Written Testimony for HB 4153 is needed by Friday at 1pm (2/6)!

Friend of Family Farmers is opposed to HB 4153 - the Farm Store Bill - because it limits who is allowed to have a farm store for their operation and makes no specific protections for the simplest form of farm stand currently in operation.

Why we have to oppose this bill:

❌Gives opportunity based on farm size, not sales of farm product

❌No protection for the simplest form of farm stands, replacing them with farm stores

❌Changes the purpose and function of a farm store/stand

You have the chance to raise your voice and demand a more fair solution. There is a public hearing for this proposal on 2/4/26 at 1pm in the Oregon State House Agriculture, Land Use, Natural Resources, and Water. You can submit written testimony up to 48 hours after the hearing (deadline = Friday, 2/6/26 at 1pm).

We want to make sure that the members of this committee hear from small farms and community members who would lose access to beloved farm stands or be excluded by this bill. Although many folks in the FoFF community are excited at the prospect of having more freedom to host events at their farmstands, FoFF cannot support a bill that would take away opportunities from small and beginning farmers.

Have you ever gotten to the bottom of where your food comes from? It's a special feeling, and it's even better when you're backing family farms. By doing so, you're helping them hold onto more of every dollar, rather than letting big corporations take the lion's share.

Let's help the good guys win.
