Vision 2010
It is the year 2010. Napa
County is known for its rural landscape - a mosaic of
productive agricultural lands, grasslands, and forested
hillsides. This landscape is a source of pride for county
residents who have fought and won the battle to preserve and
protect agricultural lands, natural resources, and open space
from urban sprawl and development. The Napa County Farm Bureau
is one of the county's major voices for land stewardship and
agricultural sustainability. Due to the NCFB’s efforts, the
majority of the agricultural commodities in Napa County are
produced using agricultural practices that are sustainable
ecologically, economically, and socially. The Napa County Farm
Bureau is a tireless advocate for agricultural and open space
preservation and conservation.
NCFB Mission
The mission of the Napa
County Farm Bureau is to ensure the proper political, social,
and economic climate for the continuation of a strong, viable

advocacy and education in order to preserve and protect the
agricultural land that provides a high quality of life for all
rural and urban citizens of Napa County.
