Friends of Family Farmers supports Oregon’s small to mid-sized farmers and ranchers through programs and policies that protect, promote, and sustain sustainable local food systems across the state. We believe that when local farms thrive, so do the communities that depend on them.

For 20 years, we’ve been helping Oregon’s independent farmers grow success through hands-on support, community building, and advocacy. Our Oregon Farm Link program helps new and expanding farmers find secure access to land and community resources. The Oregon Pasture Network supports ranchers raising animals on pasture and rangeland, providing education, community building and marketing tools to expand access to pasture-raised, humanely produced meat, dairy, and eggs. And through farmer-led advocacy, we protect Oregon’s farmland, ecosystems, and the livelihoods of those who feed us.

Central Oregon values fresh, local food, open landscapes, and strong community connections – just like we do. Supporting Friends of Family Farmers is a meaningful way to keep local food systems thriving, nourish ourselves & our neighbors, and sustain Oregon’s local food future.
