Why you should join the TFA

The Tenant Farmers Association provides dedicated advice, information and support to all non-land-owning farmers in England and Wales.


The Tenant Farmers Association was formed in 1981 by a group of tenant farmers who felt that their interests were not being forcefully represented by existing bodies.  Today, the TFA is the only organisation dedicated to supporting all farmers who do not own the land that they operate.  

Are you a Scottish tenant farmer?

The Scottish TFA has its own website so please click here to be directed straight to it.

Advice When You Need It

TFA members have access to free, specific, one-to-one expert advice on all agricultural, tenancy and land occupation queries from a dedicated head office team, including the TFA’s own Rural Surveyors. Support is available at no extra cost by telephone, email, letter or, when needed, through a face-to-face meeting.

Information When You Want It

TFA members can access a vast and growing library of expert guidance and specialist information for non-landowning and tenant farmers, featuring practical farming advice, tenancy guidance and business resources available online and in accessible printed formats.

Supporting You All the Time

The TFA will be working tirelessly for your benefit. This includes regular contact with the major rural estate landlords, lobbying Government at all levels, from Ministers and MPs and MSs to Local Councils, working with the media, other farming organisations and Professional Bodies, plus providing member benefits, services and discounts.

Without your help, guidance, commitment, devotion and dedication, none of [what has been achieved] would have been possible. A huge and most sincere heartfelt thank you for everything. We were so pleased to have you in our corner.
Member from Bedfordshire
Membership of the TFA has exceeded expectations. The support, guidance and detailed feedback from TFA Advisers has been excellent! I have already been extolling the virtues of the TFA to colleagues and peers.
Member from West Yorkshire
Every tenant farmer should join the Tenant Farmers Association. Their knowledge of tenant laws is the reason I am so grateful to them. No other agricultural advisers have the knowledge they have.
Member from Staffordshire
We are very grateful to you for being in the trenches with us. Without your help, we would not have made it.
Members from Gloucestershire
We would just like to say thank you for your support recently. Your input has made a very hard situation feel a lot less unpleasant and hard to navigate.
Members from the East Midlands
If it wasn't for the fact I had the TFA in my corner, I would not have been able to resolve my issues as well as I did. I will be forever grateful to the TFA for its assistance.

We cannot begin to tell you how relieved we are, and your help and advice have been absolutely invaluable and we can’t thank you enough.
