| A Non-Member Consulting Agreement is for farmers who have a philosophical objection to membership in an organization engaged in litigation. Examples of persons requesting Non-Member Consulting Agreements include farmers from the Mennonite, Amish or other Anabaptist faiths.
The agreement is open to USA-based farmers who support direct-to-consumer distribution, sustainable farming, artisanal food production, access to raw milk, on-farm processing, and consumer choice.
Thank you for your membership and for helping us to further our mission.
