ABOUT
Established in 1936, the Lanark Federation of Agriculture (LFA) was organized in response to the creation of the Canadian Chamber of Agriculture in 1935, later renamed the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. For more than 80 years, OFA has been a leader in results-based advocacy and lobbying, and is driven by our mission – Farms and Food Forever.
