Round up this May to help support regenerative agricultural practices! Our Family Farms educates and inspires farmers, policy makers and the community at large to support regenerative agricultural practices.

Our Family Farms is a small volunteer led non profit with the capacity to perform large tasks that create transformational change. Our Family Farms envisions a thriving, sustainable food and agricultural system with seed diversity and farmable land for generations to come. They educate and inspire farmers, policy makers and the community at large to support regenerative agricultural practices. Our Family Farms is committed to protecting traditional GMO free seeds and the farmers growing them by creating GMO free Seed Sanctuaries.

Prior to being a nonprofit organization, Our Family Farms was a farmer led political action committee with the goal of protecting our family farms from GMO crops. A critical first step in this effort was the passage of the Family Farms Measure 15-119 on May 20, 2014. The community voted in favor of the Measure by 66% of voters! This Measure laid the groundwork for creating a GMO free seed sanctuary in Jackson County, which is a world class seed growing region. When a lawsuit was filed shortly after the campaign, they helped defend the Measure in federal court and won again!

Our Family Farms will use the Positive Change funds to host a Seed to Supper farm tour. The community will engage and learn more about the ins and outs of the methods used by Medford Food Co-op farmers to grow and source seeds that feed the GMO free Jackson County community. Regenerative farming techniques used to mitigate climate and drought issues will also be discussed.
