May 20th is a special day for Our Community:
On May 20, 2014, voters passed Measure 15-119 establishing the GMO ban ordinance. On the same date one year later, May 20, 2015, we defended the ordinance in federal court and won! Our Family Farms is still here protecting Jackson County's Seed Sanctuary!

Disaster Relief Grant
Our Family Farms is proud to be part of this work to bring relief to our farmers. The OCFSN Disaster Relief Grant Program is now accepting applications. The fund, established by the Oregon legislature, can help cover 2021 losses due to natural disasters for small farms and ranches that do do not qualify for the Oregon Disaster Assistance Program (ie farms that do not have a Schedule F tax return for the years 2017-2019). Apply before May 11 to be considered for the second round of funding. LEARN MORE
