Connecticut Farm Bureau

Connecticut Farm Bureau Association (CFBA) is a statewide non-profit organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Each of Connecticut’s eight counties has a farm bureau that is a separate legal entity with their own Board of Directors and plan of work. These eight county farm bureaus work collaboratively with Connecticut Farm Bureau to promote and advocate for agriculture.

CFBA’s annual agricultural policy evaluation process lays the foundation for our organizational priorities and guides our legislative and regulatory work. Our policy book on agriculture is updated every year and typically contains over 170 statements on farming issues from agriculture in schools to taxation on farmer’s markets. This document represents the organization’s opinions on a wide range of farming issues. The time and attention devoted to debating, crafting, and voting on these statements is critical because the statements drive CFBA’s legislative priorities, effect member programs and services, guide our positions on regulatory issues and inform our discussions with community groups and municipalities.
