Growing through ACTION, LEADING through service…

Be part of a group that enjoys farming just as much as you do!

All agricultural enthusiasts and producers between the ages of 16 to 35, are encouraged to participate in the New Hampshire Farm Bureau Young Farmer program.   It is a terrific way to meet others with similar interests in agriculture as well as provides many opportunities to develop professionally and personally.

The Young Farmers participate in farm tours, community service and influence public policy affecting agriculture in the Granite State.
