We have initiated our strategic plan with regional stakeholder meetings. Because of time constraints with the growing season already in motion, we have decided to continue gathering input in a more direct way by asking our membership and others to respond to 12 questions. We estimate this survey will take about 5 minutes to complete.

This survey is an opportunity for us to get to know you better and to voice your interests.

The goal of this process is to understand our members' needs and topics of interest, to better align Future Harvest's efforts and resources.
