Illinois Farm Families Ambassador Program
2026 Farmer Ambassador Application Now Open
The Illinois Farm Families Ambassador program seeks to train and elevate the authentic voices of Illinois farmers by connecting them with the Chicago consumer audience. Ambassadors will produce social media assets such as videos, photos, or blogs to be shared on IFF social media channels (including Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok) and website throughout the 2026 calendar year and will receive a stipend for their effort.
Applicants should have an established public presence on social media with the opportunity to grow in their storytelling about life on an Illinois farm.
Priority is given to Illinois farmers who are members of IFF partner farm organizations. Applicants must be an Illinois resident and must be at least 18 years of age as of January 1, 2026.
Applications for 2026 IFF Farmer Ambassadors will be accepted July 1 – September 8, 2025. Applicants will be notified of their application status in Fall 2025.
Apply here to be part of the 2026 IFF Farmer Ambassador program.
