Our Mission: is to promote a safe farm environment to prevent health hazards, injuries, and fatalities to children and youth.


We Believe

Nothing raised on the farm is more valuable than children.

Children have the right to grow and develop free from injury causing farm-related health and safety risks.

We will accomplish this by

  • Promoting farm safety awareness and education for children and youth.
  • Serving as an advocate
  • Enhancing community involvement and collaboration.
  • Combing education and advocacy to influence safe attitudes and behaviours
  • Promoting efforts to advance safer farm practices and equipment.
