Shape the future of SFA

SFA has been hard at work for months now, crafting a strategic plan to guide our work for the next few years. To guide that effort, we’d like to know who you are, where you come from, where you are headed – and how we can help you get there.

So, we’ve created this first-ever SFA survey. We want to hear from all of you: farmers, homesteaders, landowners, donors and supporters, partners and allies, event sponsors and exhibitors — everyone in SFA’s extended network. Click here to take the survey, which will be open through March 26.

If you are a farmer who also connects with SFA wearing other hats, please complete the survey first as a farmer. After you answer questions about your farming operation, you’ll be given an option to complete a much shorter set of questions so we understand your other connections to SFA. Your responses will be anonymous and used only for planning purposes. 

Your candid responses to the open-ended questions will be especially helpful as we make decisions about the work we focus on going forward.  We truly appreciate your time and candor in completing this survey.  If you’d like to be included in a drawing for a $50 credit toward SFA swag or event fees, you’ll have the opportunity to do so at the end of the survey.
