Missouri Department of Agriculture Strategic Plan states:
"We believe that whenever feasible, agriculture should rely on voluntary, market-based approaches rather than government regulation."

Missouri Independent Consumers and Farmers Association (MOICFA)

WE - ARE YOU! We are mothers and fathers, consumers, sons and daughters, husbands and wives and singles. We are black, hispanic, white, those of faith and those without. We are soldiers, doctors, teachers, professional, blue-collared, hourly and salary...

MOICFA is: a coalition representing all of Missouri independent consumers and farmers united in a common mission and purpose:

     *To promote and preserve unregulated direct farmer-to-consumer trade that fosters availability of locally grown or home-produced food products.

     *To oppose any government funded or managed National Animal Identification System.

Do you believe that you, as a consumer, have the right to know what is in your food and what was used to produce it?

Do you believe that you have the right to choose the food that you and your family consume?

Do you believe that you have the right to farm and produce the food that can sustain your family, friends and community?

So do we!

And because of our beliefs, we gladly accept the responsibility to represent our fellow Missouri consumers and farmers in these rights. To find out more about our organization or to offer suggestions on how we may support you, please send an email to jim@moicfa.org.
