A membership in Minnesota Farmers Union gets you more than a membership number. Members enjoy benefits such as:
A voice in government
As we face the challenges of the future, how do we reach those that make the decisions? As an MFU member, your voice is heard on the issues that affect you and your family directly. We work to represent your farm and rural Minnesota in St. Paul and Washington, D.C.
Leadership Camp
Minnesota Farmers Union Leadership Camp is affordable and open to everyone, regardless of your current or past connection to farming. MFU camp is where kids can hang out, be kids and have fun singing at campfires, learn about Farmers Union, agriculture and the role they play in everyday life. Please visit www.mfu.org/camp for more information!

Crime protection
Farmers Union members are part of a crime prevention program that rewards $1,000 to individuals who provide information that leads to the arrest and conviction of persons responsible for theft, vandalism or arson of a member’s property.
Subscription to Minnesota Agriculture, the monthly magazine of MFU
Described as the “cliff notes” of events and issues that affect agriculture in Minnesota, you receive the very latest in the farming news that impacts you and your community directly. If you use email, you will also receive a weekly e-newsletter with our event listings and links to register, as well as information about available grants and policy updates.
Agritourism inherent risk warning signs
In accordance with Minnesota’s agritourism liability law, a provider of agritourism activities is not liable for injury, damage or death of a participant resulting from inherent risks of the activity if warning signs are posted at the site of the activity. MFU members are eligible for one free warning sign as well as additional signs which can be purchased for $7. Contact us to get your signs. We also frequently have them available at our events and trade shows.
Farmers Union Farmers Choice Coffee

It is available in four varieties, 1 lb. each: Guatemalan Blend ($15), Sumatran Blend ($14) and Colombian Blend ($14). Roasting takes place at J&S Bean Factory in St. Paul. All beans are entirely fair-traded and farmer-to-farmer. It makes a great gift! Call us to order your coffee at (651) 288-4096.
