Advocacy at FoFF takes many forms. One of the things we are famous for is our legislative advocacy. We develop priorities for our work based on feedback from our farmer members every two years. When there is a clear solution that can be achieved through new legislation, we engage in advocacy in Salem. We support bills that further our mission every session, when appropriate, spearhead specific policy solutions with the help of legislative partners, educate all legislators about the reality of small farms, give testimony at committee hearings, and most importantly bring farmers directly to their lawmakers to give them perspective on how their choices impact small farmers.
