ST. Johnsbury, VT-
New England Farmers Union and
Farming: The Journal of Northeast Agriculture are pleased to announce a strategic marketing partnership. The partnership was formed to help New England farmers gain better access to the information, legislative and business services offered by the two separate organizations.
New England Farmers Union was formed in 2006 as a chapter within the National Farmers Union, one of America's largest agricultural associations. It was created to provide New England farmers with a formal framework within which to cooperate and speak with a collective voice on important regional and national issues.
Launched in 1997 by
Moose River Media in St. Johnsbury, Vermont,
Farming: The Journal of Northeast Agriculture is the largest integrated media brand serving the information needs of New England famers. The magazine is published monthly and is circulated to more than 28,000 subscribers.
"
New England Farmers Union greatly values the benefits of partnerships," said Annie Cheatham,
New England Farmers Union's president. "This collaboration with
Farming magazine will expand our capacity to tell the many stories of New England's unique agriculture. Our region is on the cutting edge for buy local campaigns, farmers' market development, aquaculture and the production of dozens of food products available year round. We welcome the opportunity to bring the voice of farmers, landscapers and consumers to the regional and national discussion about food, farming and environmental issues."
"We're excited about our partnership with
New England Farmers Union," said Korry Stagnito, President & CEO of
Moose River Media. "Our market focus is extremely well-aligned and we believe that the synergy will greatly benefit the New England farming community."
