Thank you for checking in on opportunities to work for the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund.
Current Openings
The FTCLDF (Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund) is a national independent nonprofit 501(c)(4) organization working to defend the right of farmers and consumers to produce and buy the food of their choice from the source of their choice. In support of this mission, FTCLDF provides legal representation, political action services, and education to its members.
We have no current job openings, but we often have volunteer opportunities around the U.S., and we do keep resumes on file for future openings.

Join Our Attorney Network
We are always seeking additional legal assistance in helping to secure food freedom for members and consumers across the country. Aside from our core group of attorneys, the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund contracts with and receives pro bono services where possible from attorneys across the country. Sometimes our attorneys on staff need to partner with an attorney in a specific state for legal work, and this requires a vast network of attorneys across the country. We are expanding our attorney network in each state so we will have identified local attorneys knowledgeable and ready to support the unique needs of our members. Attorneys working with the FTCLDF help members protect their rights to sell nutrient-dense foods from small family farms, keep backyard chickens, market homemade ferments, and more. These are dedicated attorneys committed to serving independent farmers and food producers to meet consumer demand for local sustainably grown food.

Providing free legal services to our members and removing legal barriers for people trying to raise food for themselves are two of our top priorities. We would love your help!
