Community Action Groups

This group of friends and neighbors meets monthly to discuss key issues affecting agriculture. Whether the issue is zoning, community planning, school finance, or even a neighborhood beautification project, a Community Action Group is the perfect tool to find solutions, gain knowledge, share ideas, and take action.

St. Joseph County has a Community Action Group called the Happy Farmers. Contact the St. Joseph County Farm Bureau @ 269-467-6095 for more information on how to join or get involved.

Harvest for All food drive

Each fall our County Farm Bureau challenges the local 4-H clubs to see which club can collect the most pounds of food per member. The top 3 clubs receive monetary prizes for their efforts. The collected food items are then taken to a local food shelter. Anyone wishing to help with the cause can call the office for a food drop off date.

Promotion & Education

The goal of the Promotion and Education program is to educate Michigan consumers about agriculture through working with children and schools and coordinating public outreach programs to promote and educate about agriculture. In addition, the Promotion and Education program strives to educate farmers on issues impacting agriculture.

For more information on how to get involved locally call the St. Joseph County Farm Bureau @ 269-467-6095.
