• Spotlight farmers whose land use practices protect and enhance our shared waterways.

• Provide tools and resources to farmers to be excellent soil and water stewards.

• Educate non-farmers about how regenerative farm practices are important to water quality and public health.
  

Our River Friendly Farms program seeks to maintain positive, affirming relationships with all farmers as they pursue conservation goals. We encourage practices that keep topsoil and nutrients on the farm and out of streams. You can read more about the best management practices (BMPs) we encourage here.
