Why be part of FSF?

• As a member of Peninsula Pride Farms, we’ve been able to influence and improve farming practices and community perceptions of agriculture tremendously.  As the group has grown, we’ve relied on FSF more, not less.  The outstanding staff has brought management and communications skills which has allowed us as farmers to focus on innovation.  We have a better story to tell and a bigger, better platform to tell it.  The wide reach of FSF throughout the supply chain has helped Peninsula Pride generate new financial support and put us in touch with experts who can help us make continual progress and measure improved outcomes.  We wouldn’t be where we are today without FSF.

Why should others join?

• If you’re a member of a farmer-led conservation group, it really is a no brainer.  FSF will empower you to improve by providing human resources, advice, and support.  They are able to serve as a connection between various conservation groups to share experiences and offer direction.  The connections to other parts of the supply chain will bring a world of opportunity. This is true even if you are not part of a farm conservation group.  I would encourage any individual farm or ag business to join and be a part of the change as ag takes the lead on sustainability through progress.
