An Accredited Farm Organization (AFO) led by farmers for farmers.
The National Farmers Union - Ontario (NFU-O) is made up of thousands of passionate, innovative farmers across Ontario working for a food and farm system that is better for farmers, eaters, and the land. The NFU-O connects these farmers and collectively raises their voices, turning big ideas into real change.
In the NFU-O you have a spot at the table and a voice to shape our policy priorities in response to the ever changing agri-food landscape and the needs of your farm.
Why Ontario Farmers Choose the NFU-O
“I joined the NFU-O because it represents small family farms that take essential care of the soil.”
