The American Farm Bureau Federation is the Voice of Agriculture®. We are farm and ranch families working together to build a sustainable future of safe and abundant food, fiber and renewable fuel for our nation and the world. Rhode Island Farm Bureau is a non-profit, non-governmental, membership-based organization, advocating for agriculture in Rhode Island and across the country. Farm Bureaus are located in all 50 states and Puerto Rico.

Isn’t Farm Bureau an insurance company?
Rhode Island Farm Bureau Federation is a grassroots advocacy organization. Farm Family Insurance is a separate entity and insurance discounts with American National are one of many valuable benefits available to Farm Bureau members.

Interested in Starting a Farm? Look at our “So You Want to Start a Farm” sheet which has a lot of resources to help you as you grow your new or existing farm.

Click Here for the Guide

This compilation, issued by the RI Farm Bureau, is designed to be a guide for farmers to the maze of Rhode Island General Laws specific to agriculture. It does not make the maze simpler. It just enables finding where specific issues are located within the maze. Its purpose is to help farmers be more efficient in finding the provisions of law that apply to their operations.

Your farm from a drone, sunsets or sunrise over your fields, produce or livestock, family working together (remember… only photos showing safe practices, please), anything you’d be pleased to see on another Farm Bureau’s site or on FB or Instagram.
