Farm-to-Consumer Foundation Information

Company Overview The Farm-to-Consumer Foundation (FTCF) is a 501 (c)(3) Nonprofit Educational Charitable Organization created to expand public awareness about sustainably farmed food, and increase choices and access to local sources for the health of the community through nutrient dense food, economic growth and opportunity for conversation that knits communities together for positive change. The FTCF supports small family farms growing and raising these foods with continuing education on best practices related to soil, forage, food and animal health, advocacy for the direct consumer farmer relationship, and support Public Interest Litigation to protect opportunities to buy from those you trust. For the past five years, the FTCF has been the leader in educational programs and materials for the production of raw milk to producers and consumers around the country. These activities have helped raw milk consumption safely grow to over 10 million consumers nationwide. During that time, what we have learned through the assessment of producing a safe quality raw milk product has implications for the whole food chain. True sustainability of our community food security and economic viability starts with the soil. Through years of research in building raw milk safety processes, the principles of such can be used to maximize quality, productivity and safety of all our food sources. The FTCF will continue to research and promote raw milk safety programs to meet the ever growing demand of new producers and health conscious consumers for access to a safe and quality product. As the FTCF continues to grow in reach and scope of best practices concerning all food production, we welcome your support and welcome you into the larger community conversation of where our food comes from, how it is raised and the changes that can be outlined as we come to the table of what is possible.
