The Future Farmers fund

Oregon Farm Corps trains and equips the next generation of farmers and ranchers, using hands-on skill building with mentors, educational programming, and business development services. We envision a world in which land is deeply cared for, power is equitably shared, and farms, ranches, and the people who work them flourish. The average age of a farmer in Oregon is 59, signaling the urgency of this work.
What is the Future Farmers Fund?
🌟 We strive to provide financial accessibility for our programs so anyone from any background or circumstance can gain access to education and support in pursuit of their regenerative agriculture dreams. Join us to support our Future Farmers Fund, which reduces or waives program fees and helps offset costs such as travel, childcare, gear, and technology essential to program participation. 🌟
In 2025, the Future Farmer Fund supported 53 participants through $13,575 in reduced program fees and $5,730 in travel support, helping participants attend in-person educational events.
