Community Farm Alliance

About Community Farm Alliance

Community Farm Alliance (CFA) is a statewide grassroots organization of persons committed to family-scale farming as the most efficient and sustainable form of producing the best quality food, while protecting the environment and strengthening rural community life. Community Farm Alliance believes: That family-scale farming and people working together lay a foundation for community life. Family scale farming has been eroded so significantly that we need to create a new system of agriculture that keeps people on the land. CFA seeks to ensure the health and well being of rural communities by advocating rural economic development whose first priority is the protection of family-scale farming. That American society is best served by family-scale agriculture, and that corporate control of agriculture endangers our land, food, and communities. Family farmers best protect soil and water resources: family farmers are the most reliable producers of nutritious, reasonably priced food; and family farmers sustain thousands of rural communities. That all laborers and the farmer, too, must be allowed a fair return. Price for farm products need to be adequate for farm families to make a living and care for their farms.
