How To Join

New Members

Everyone is eligible to apply for Farm Bureau membership and receive the many benefits and services available. When you join, you are applying for membership in the county Farm Bureau where you live or work.

Farmers and ranchers who receive income from production agriculture join as Voting Members and receive the weekly Ag Alert^®, California's number one agricultural trade journal.

All others join as Sustaining Members and receive the bimonthly California Country, filled with useful information and background on food production, home gardening and other subjects. Each county has different dues rates for both Voting and Sustaining Members.

Choose the most convenient way to join:

By Telephone
Call the Member Help Desk at (800) 698-FARM (3276) and have your VISA or MasterCard ready for dues payment. Be ready to provide name, address, phone and specify your choice of county Farm Bureau to join (residence, property ownership or place of business.)

By Mail
Complete and mail an application form to the California Farm Bureau Federation - Help Desk, 2300 River Plaza Drive, Sacramento, CA 95833. We will contact you to verify the dues rate for your county Farm Bureau and will then send you an invoice.
