‘Give to the Max’ and help us transform agriculture

By: Lucinda Winter Executive Director

Today is Give to the Max Day! Minnesota’s annual giving holiday is always a sure sign that the year is coming to a close. This has been a year of growth and evolution for SFA. Through our newly refined mission and strategic plan, we are focusing on what we do best: providing boot-on-the-ground support for farmers and landowners to reach their ecological and financial goals.

Our new mission – transforming agriculture, one farm at a time – pays homage to SFA’s origins and long history as a farmer-to-farmer network. It brings into focus that we are part of a larger movement of farmers, landowners, and local food and climate advocates seeking to change the agricultural paradigm to one that honors and supports the farmers who produce our food and protects our land and natural resources.

Please consider making a donation to SFA today either on our website, or on our GiveMN page. Your Give to the Max contribution will help support the backbone of our organization: staff, infrastructure, and day-to-day operations through our general fund. Throughout the last week, we’ve spotlighted specific “behind-the-scenes” work supported by the general fund; these elements are crucial to delivering high-quality programs and maintaining our commitment to our members.

Your generosity empowers us to maintain and grow our impact, and thanks to a generous match all donations made today up to $5,000 will be doubled! Don’t wait, donate during Give to the Max Day to make twice the impact. Thank you for your support.
