Membership
Why join VABF? - Our members receive The Virginia Biological Farmer, our quarterly newsletter, containing news and events related to sustainable agriculture in Virginia; they get a copy of our annual directory of members, a great resource for networking with like-minded growers and advocates of sustainable farmiing practices; and notification of field days, (optional) legislative updates, and complete information about our annual conference. Most importantly, members are supporting this tax-exempt organization whose mission is to educate and encourage ecologically sound methods of farming and agriculture.
VABF memberships are on a calendar year basis, renewable in January of each year. Some people find it easier to join for two years at a time (and there is a small discount!). Current VABF members receive a renewal reminder and envelope in the mail. Expiration date of current members are listed on the address label of all our bulk mailings.
