Thanks for engaging in the conversation yesterday

Thanks for engaging in the conversation yesterday about the future of small farms. We 100% believe small family scale farms are the future. A few folks brought up the article that highlights the collective power of farming by Chris Newman of @sylvanaquafarmsHere is the article if you would like to read further -
www.heated.medium.com/small-family-farms-aren’t-the-answer-742b6684857eWe appreciate having thoughtful and respectful conversations to hear peoples perspectives to move our food system towards a local, diversified and interconnected agricultural future built by family farms where ecosystems and communities thrive 🌈

We invite you to read this article. This was an in

We invite you to read this article. This was an incredibly interesting read highlighting the shortcomings of the small independent family farm. It begs the question - what do we want Oregon’s agricultural future to look like? Through our understanding and conversations with farmers and hearing from our panelists during our inFARMation series, we 100% know farming is hard and community is everything. How do we create a collaborative food system that lifts everyone up? Food for thought…#Repost @thecounter with @make_repost

In 2016, agricultural writer Sarah Mock landed a book deal to write about how small family farms are the future of U.S. agriculture. She couldn't do it.⁠
⁠
Instead, her reporting disproved the narrative of a country of small, successful farms. And led her to ask: Has the U.S.—in a uniquely American way—romanticized small family farms?⁠
⁠
Raised on a small family farm herself, Mock grew up convinced that farms weren’t only the future of our food system—but also the best and most virtuous way to organize agriculture. Telling the stories of young idealistic farmers could help spread a movement she felt passionately about. When she set out to write her book, she wanted to highlight the farmers who were making it work.⁠
⁠
Mock talked to countless farmers who fit the part. But quickly realized that without inherited land or independent wealth, there was virtually no chance at survival for young, small farmers.⁠

Small Farms Are A Big Deal

Small Farms

Our Vision

Friends of Family Farmers envisions an Oregon where the food system is dominated by thriving, socially and ecologically responsible family farms.

It is our belief that every person — urban and agrarian, farmer and eater — has the ability to make choices that can help regenerate our food system.
