Welcome, Members! You are the backbone of CFA. This portal contains exclusive content for current members and more information for those interested in becoming members!
Being a CFA member means becoming part of a community that thrives on personal impact and shared stories of success. Members benefit from a wealth of help and resources, allowing them to grow and succeed through advocacy, engagement, and numerous participation opportunities. Through a variety of events, members connect, learn, and contribute to a collective vision. CFA’s mission is to organize and foster cooperation among rural and urban citizens, promoting leadership development and grassroots democratic processes. This ensures a vital role for family-scale agriculture in our economies and communities. We envision a food and fiber system that provides nutritious food for Kentuckians in a socially, economically, and ecologically sustainable way, serving as a cornerstone of the state’s economy.
