The National Young Farmers’ Coalition got its start at the Stone Barns Young Farmer Conference in Tarrytown NY in December 2009. There, a group of young farmers came to the decision that we needed an institution to represent our interests and help young farmers succeed. The structural obstacles faced by aspiring/beginning/ young/ old farmers can be overcome with policy change at the local, state and national levels. The Coalition will bring that change with energy and organizing. In addition, the Coalition will provide practical help for beginning farm entrepreneurs and a stronger network of friends to help young farmers through difficult seasons.
