The New England Farmers Union is one of the fastest growing chapters of the National Farmers Union. Our 1,000+ members include farmers, fisherman, trade organizations, farm and conservation organizations and food co-ops. Our members include dairy farmers in Vermont, Cranberry growers in Massachusetts, livestock, fruit and vegetable producers from across New England. NEFU farmer members are organic, conventional, sustainable, grass based, beginning and established – all sharing a deep commitment to conservation and the success of New England agriculture.

NEFU’s affiliated members have made an extraordinary commitment to the organization’s growth and development. Affiliated members provide a NEFU membership to each of their own members. Affiliated members enjoy a seat on the NEFU Board Advisory Committee and our Legislative Committee.

Whether you are a farmer or consumer, urban or rural, this organization fights for farm policies that ensure we have a safe and abundant food supply, and carries the voice of the rural community to the state and federal legislatures.
