Our members say MIFFS is different from other agriculture,
food-related, or environmental groups that they belong to:
“MIFFS bridges between mainstream and alternative
ag systems. No other group seems to have the level of respect from
such a cross- section of groups.”
“MIFFS is closer to a holistic management of
the family farming system. Other groups are more economic or commodity-oriented.
MIFFS looks at agriculture and its people.”
“MIFFS is more designed to bring producers and
consumers together, to help people learn where their food comes
from.”
“MIFFS values both profit and the environment,
emphasizing the farm being a whole earning unit.”
“MIFFS encompasses organic to conventional farming.
Everyone can get something out of it.”
