Jefferson County Farm Bureau gives farmers and non-farmers alike the opportunity to be part of an organization dedicated to supporting and enriching agriculture. It provides an opportunity for individuals interested in the food system, land issues and rural living to join together and make their voices heard.

We believe that a strong, viable agricultural industry is beneficial not only to our economy but also to our local communities and our consumers.
