Support SFA

Become a Member

For more than 30 years, members have been the heart of SFA and make our work possible. Our 1,300 members include farmers, ranchers, agricultural educators, agency staff, local food advocates, homesteaders, eaters, and conservationists.

We call ourselves the "farmer-to-farmer network," but our ecosystem is far wider. We attract and partner with people and organizations interested in shifting the agricultural paradigm from an extractive model to a regenerative one.

You can join us as a member by making an annual gift at an amount that is comfortable and meaningful to you. Be sure to check out the member benefits below!

More on Membership

 

    • You can be an at-large member of SFA, or choose to join any of our regional chapters.

 

    • If you are a chapter member, the majority of your membership dues will go toward supporting it.

 

    • You choose the annual member dues level that works best for you.

 

    • The best way to "set it and forget it" is to set up a recurring payment using e-check/ACH.

 

    • Most SFA events are open to all, regardless of membership. If you're on the fence, come check us out!
