# CDFA Considers California-Specific Definition for Small Farms

> California’s Department of Food and Agriculture discussed creating a statewide definition of small farms with advisory committees representing small-scale and BIPOC producers. The preliminary proposal could use multiple size tiers and account for ownership, revenue, business structure, and California-specific costs, potentially shaping eligibility for state grants and other assistance.
