Advancing Equity in Farming

Rogue Farm Corps strives to center equity in our work and to dismantle systems of oppression that exist in agriculture, in ourselves, in Oregon, and in society. Part of this work includes making hands-on farm training and technical assistance more accessible.
Established in 2019, the Future Farmers Fund offers scholarships to BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, women, veteran, low-income applicants and others who have been historically excluded from agriculture in Oregon.
Help us Advance Equity in agriculture
With your support we are able to make our farm training and future farms programs more accessible to participants of diverse backgrounds. This in turn increases and diversifies the pool of well-trained, equity-informed, sustainability focused farmers entering the field of agriculture.
Your Support Makes a Difference
In 2023, thanks to our community of supporters we awarded scholarships to 28 beginning farmers to participate in Farmer Training Programs and 41 participants for our Future Farm programs.
Special thanks to Hummingbird Wholesaler and Organically Grown Co. for your extra support on Earth Day!
Over the years, generous support from our business community has allowed us to increase the number of scholarships awarded each year.
Huge Thanks to our 2024 Business Sponsors!
