Join NAAHF and join others who, like you, are living their dream lifestyle, a lifestyle that gives you rewards that urban dwellers envy:

• Tasting your first fresh-picked hot-off-the-vine tomato
• Seeing rows of veggies that you have planted waiting to be harvested (and preserved)
• Smelling the warm earth just after it’s plowed or right after a rain shower
• Watching your children (or grandchildren) laughing as they walk across your fields
• Feeling the warmth of the sun as it dips into the horizon at the end of the day

Those of you who have lived in the country a while know that all this happiness comes with a unique set of challenges:

• Rain that never seems to stop, although the rain clouds seem to soak your neighbor’s land, but not yours
• Animals that have to be fed, no matter what the weather is
• The necessity of cleaning out animal cages and mucking stalls
• Working ‘til early in the morning to save that bumper crop

We here at the North American Association of Hobby Farmers are working hard to collect and record the information you need to live the good rural life: choosing, and then financing, the farm that’s right for you; hints and tips on growing fruits, vegetables, and herbs; raising farm animals, and where to find information on specific breeds; using what you grow and raise; and ideas about living simply and abundantly.

As a Member:

As a member of NAAHF, you receive a one-year subscription to Hobby Farms magazine. Hobby Farms® is the premier magazine for hobby farmers, providing timely information on livestock, farm marketing, crafts, and kitchen ideas.

A hand-bound blank journal so you can record your hobby farming triumphs. This beautifully soft-bound book will hold all the stories, diagrams, and other interesting details of your experience for your children and grandchildren. Your start to sharing a Farm Journal legacy with future generations.

Each book is 6″ x 8.5″ with 80 light gray sheets/160 pages, unlined so you can add garden drawings or other musings. Each page is 90 gram recycled, acid-free paper to preserve your memories in its pages. The forest green hand bound cover makes our Farm Journal stand out on your family library shelf. A pale green binding string page marker with hand-crafted semi-precious stone bobble will help keep your place.

Valuable discounts for products you can use. We won’t be sharing your contact information (that’s our privacy policy), but we will forward information to you, along with the discounts companies are providing to our members.

Lastly, part of your membership goes to benefit The Nature Conservancy, whose mission is to preserve the plants, animals, and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive.
