The agricultural use of the land and waters of Cape Cod is rapidly diminishing. The Cape Cod Farm Bureau is positioned to offer needed assistance to farmers, as well as the general public.

We offer our services and advice to any group or person who wishes to preserve the prudent use of the land and waters to benefit current and future generations of Cape Codders.

To be successful in our endeavors, the Cape Cod Farm Bureau needs not only the involvement of its members and associate members, but also the support and encouragement of the entire Cape Cod community.

The vast majority of Cape Cod farmers are currently members of the Farm Bureau and we encourage other Cape residents to help us by becoming Associate Members or Donors to our cause.
