Welcome message from the president:

Welcome to Local 310 in Lanark County. We are a strong, dedicated, and knowledgeable grassroots group of producers and non-farming community members working to preserve the family farm and resist corporate control of our food system. We work together to maintain and promote vibrant rural communities, environmentally sustainable practices and the production of safe, wholesome food. We look forward to you joining us and the conversation at our monthly meetings and events.

About Our Local

Our chapter is made up a diverse network of new, through to multi-generational experienced livestock, vegetable, crop, and value-added producers as well as non-farming associate members of homesteaders and urban/peri-urban/rural farm-advocates.

Why You Should Join Us

Our chapter is made up a diverse network of new, through to multi-generational experienced livestock, vegetable, crop, and value-added producers. We are a dedicated voluntary group, working with small and medium family farms to preserve the integrity of our rural farming fabric. Local 310 offers farmer-to-farmer support to tackle the issues facing Lanark County farmers.

Not a Farmer?

NFU Local 310 is a diverse group of farmers and farm advocates. Together we discuss, educate, and tackle political and operational challenges facing Lanark County farmers, producers, homesteaders, and non-farming urban/peri-urban/rural community members.

Upcoming Meetings

Our meetings are a time to gather and socialize, discuss NFU policy and events, bring forward political, social, and environmental issues local farmers are facing, share farm experiences, create strategies or share resources to tackle current issues facing Lanark County and the wider community of Ontario farmers.

Details coming soon!
