Pro Bono and Local Counsel Opportunities: Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund

Pro Bono and Local Counsel Opportunities with the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund.

The Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund is a national non-profit organization working to protect, defend, and broaden the rights and viability of independent farmers, artisanal food producers, and their consumers. We represent small sustainable farms in navigating the legal system that often challenges their ability to provide farm products directly to consumers.  The FTCLDF operates with a staff of attorneys and is seeking to broaden its network of local counsel to assist with matters in every state.  The organization also seeks attorneys willing to provide pro bono services to smaller farmers without the resources to hire counsel.  To learn more, visit https://www.farmtoconsumer.org/, and email alexia@farmtoconsumer.org.
