What is Farm Bureau?

Farm Bureau® is a free, independent, nongovernmental and voluntary organization of farm and ranch families united for the purpose of analyzing agricultural problems and formulating action to achieve educational awareness and social advancement, and thereby, to promote the national well-being. Farm Bureau® is non-partisan and is local, statewide, national and international in its scope and influence.   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. American National (formerly 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.

Welcome to our brand new Rhode Island Farm Bureau Buyers Guide!

Rhode Island Farm Bureau Buyers Guide

Want to Know How to Start a Farm? Looking to Expand Yours?

We often get calls at the Farm Bureau office from people looking for land to farm, or interested in turning their property into a farm.  Sometimes they are interested in a new farm venture.  This led me to create a quick handout to email those callers, titled: “So You Want to Start a Farm?”
