2020-2025

YEAR by YEAR GROWTH

The time is now to invest in America’s farms. How many have we lost over the last 10 years? You read it every day — another 300 dairy farms in 12 months — gone. Another farm sold for housing. Most of us can link ourselves back to a farm somewhere.

Wake up, Americans! Keep our farms alive!

Slack Farms Foundation provides internships and apprenticeships; it also is a broker for small farmers who want to stay put and be vital. Our Slack Farms CommunityTM program helps farmers engage community — through internships & apprenticeships, community workshops, family events and holiday gatherings.

This is our passion, folks. We’re committed.

Commit with us now. Let’s give the lessons and joys of farming to others.
