Whether you're a full-time farmer, a community advocate, a long-time local food lover, or just getting started with your backyard garden, we all have a role to play in growing a bright future for small farms, ecosystems, and communities – and now is the perfect time to expand your impact. 🌱 During the month of June, the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association is hosting a special membership drive, inviting you to become a CFSA member and deepen your commitment to sustainable, organic food and agriculture.

Become a CFSA Member: www.carolinafarmstewards.org/membership

The investment and support of our members powers CFSA's work across the Carolinas, helping us expand local food supply chains, keep food dollars local, provide direct assistance to small-scale farmers, and fight for policies that support rural economies, healthy communities, and environmental protections. 💡 Our collective of members, thousands strong, works together to bring our vision for a sustainable, thriving food system to life. Will you be part of this critical work?

Together, we're planting the seeds for change.
