Overview

Mission

Represent the farmer's voice on issues related to agriculture, educate the consumer and promote farm products, keep members abreast of policies and new developments.

What it reported doing in 2025

To engage members at the local level in education of modern-day agriculture we host the annual meeting at a local farm with agritourism, we have engagement at local government to protect current and future agriculture.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
