Vision

Friends of Family Farmers envisions a local, diversified, and interconnected agricultural future built by small and mid-size farms where people, animals, communities and ecosystems thrive, and equitable policies improve lives and land for Oregonians.

Goals

1. 1.Family Farmers have the necessities for business viability. Without viable farms and ranches, the producers we represent will not be able to steward their land, feed their communities, or make the changes necessary for the food system to realign. The farmers we represent are accountable to their farm ecosystem and their community , but need to stay in business to meet these diverse goals.
2. 2.The farmers we serve are present and recognized in Oregon Agricultural Policy FoFF was founded to make the voices of small farmers a big deal in Salem. The system benefits the biggest farms over the rest because of the way policy gives these industrial players a leg up. Our goal is to reshape policy to favor the farmers who are building the agricultural future.
3. 3.Promotion of farmer driven initiatives that respond to emergencies and emergent needs FoFF is and has always been an organization by and for farmers. By including this in our strategic plan, we hope to renew our commitment to working on the things most important to farmers, both in the short and long terms.
