Step 1: Pasture Network Pledge
All prospective Pasture Partners must read the Pasture Network Pledge and be willing to fully commit to the OPN principles it outlines. You will be asked to sign the pledge when filling out the official application.
Step 2: OPN Application
We are currently accepting applications for additional Oregon Pasture Network Partners on a rolling basis. Interested producers can fill out the two part OPN application here – PART ONE, PART TWO. It takes about one hour to complete, and will be reviewed by FoFF staff and the OPN advisory committee on a periodic basis.
Step 3: Farm Visit
The last step, after your application is received and approved as complete, is a farm visit. This requirement may be waived by the committee if you have received a recent visit from a committee member or FoFF staff member. All farm visits to a region are typically scheduled on the same day or week, so please be prepared to be flexible. If you want to learn more about what to expect at your farm visit, visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.
Step 4: Welcome to the Oregon Pasture Network!
As soon as you’ve signed the pledge, had your application approved and received a recent farm visit, you will be officially enrolled in the OPN as a Pasture Partner!
We will add you to our OPN Google Group so you can communicate with other pastured producers directly and you will receive our quarterly newsletter. You will also build your very own, free farm profile on our website and your information will be published in Oregon’s first statewide pastured producer’s directory.
Stay tuned for more exciting, new benefits and opportunities as we develop them!
