‘Small Farms Mean Business’ Rally Day
|
Join us for a Day of Action on March 4th in Salem |
| FoFF invites farmers, ranchers, and community members from across Oregon to join together on Tuesday, March 4th from 9am-4pm in Salem at the REED BALLROOM for our seventh biennial Friends of Family Farmers ‘Small Farms Mean Business’ Rally Day! Come hear from legislators, farmers and other stakeholders to learn about the details of our priority issues (Water Access for small farms and inspectors for our State Meat Inspection Program) and other coalition bills we are supporting so you can take the issues you care about directly to legislators. After convening at the Reed Ballroom in the morning, you will have an opportunity to meet directly with your legislators at the State Capitol!
