Please note that The Clarkston Family Farm is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization. As such, we are strictly prohibited by federal law from engaging in or appearing to engage in political campaign activities. There will be no political events held at our farm. All persons hosting events at the farm will be required to agree with our Policy Statement regarding Political Activity via signature (click the link below to view the entire policy statement). That said, we want you to know that we appreciate each and every one of you, regardless of political persuasion.

Clarkston Family Farm Policy Statement on Political Activity
To comply with IRS regulations and protect our tax-exempt status:
1. No Political Campaign Events
Our facilities, programs, and resources may not be used to promote, support, or oppose any candidate for elected public office. This includes campaign rallies, fundraisers, or events that could reasonably be perceived as partisan political activity.
2. Equal Access for Non-Campaign Events
We welcome educational, cultural, and community events that align with our mission. If outside groups rent or use our facilities, they must do so under our standard rental/use policies and agreements. Political campaigns may not use our property unless all candidates for the same office are offered the exact same opportunity, under the same terms and conditions, and the organization remains strictly neutral.
3. Issue Advocacy vs. Campaigning
We may host events that discuss important public issues connected to our mission (sch as sustainable agriculture, food systems, and environmental education). However, such events will not endorse or oppose candidates or political parties.
4. Clarity of Organizational Neutrality
Any event held at our facilities must make clear that the Clarkston Family Farm does not endorse any candidate, political party, or campaign.
