Bedford Farmers Club seeks to encourage wise and rewarding use of communal lands and foster an awareness of Bedford's remarkable agricultural heritage. Advancing knowledge and improving the practice of agriculture and horticulture in a farming community was the premise of the Bedford Farmers Club in 1852. Today it addresses "Backyard" farming, horticulture, animal husbandry and encourages wise use of land, soil and water, and the protection of the total environment. The group holds 5 meetings a year at individual farms and homes and other places of interest in the Bedford area. For membership you must be proposed by a current member, attend two consecutive meetings, and have an interest in the Club's purpose and a willingness to serve on its committees. This is the oldest Farmers Club in the state, and we are now working to preserve the 156 years of Club minutes and the historical archives for future generations.
