Threats Facing Florida Farms
As Florida’s population grows, our rural communities become more vulnerable, with acre after acre being developed into residential and commercial spaces, increasing prices for farmers, ranchers and consumers. We’re fighting for you because agriculture is critical to the state of Florida and locally-grown food is essential for healthy bodies, families and economies.
Fighting for Land Conservation & Local Food
Representing Florida’s farmers and ranchers since 1941, we understand the negative impact development can have on rural communities. Farmers are having to grow more food on less land to meet our state’s growing population. That’s why we advocate for agriculture, farm and ranch families and a better quality of life for all Floridians.
The voices that matter
What our members have to say
I’m Farm Bureau Proud because it is a voice for the farmers. Almost all your farmers are not politicians and they don’t want to be politicians. Farm Bureau gives us that voice. We’ve got people that understand how council meetings work, how legislation works, so Farm Bureau is that outlet for the farmer that I think most farmers do appreciate.
Without Farm Bureau we would not have a voice in ag. Especially now as we are just getting some help after Hurricane Helen, and now we are starting to see more and more of state help. It’s very moving as a clam farmer to see the progress that’s been made just by actual farmers going and telling their stories.
We are Farm Bureau proud because they have been a voice for us when we had no voice. They were right there with us after Hurricane Helen, we wouldn’t be here without them. Farm Bureau is such a powerful organization and the name caries a lot of weight.
The Voice of Agriculture - Together for a Strong Community
As a member, we’ll work together to stop the disappearance of local farmland and natural resources in our state. Florida Farm Bureau is your voice and your advocate for the future of family farms, land conservation and locally grown food.
