The California Poultry Federation (CPF) acts as the watchdog for the California poultry industry as it works to collect information on issues of interest to the industry while at the same time acting as the industry’s advocate on a wide variety of regulatory and legislative issues.

Members of the CPF benefit from the organization’s access to the highest levels of government where critical decisions are made on legislative and regulatory matters.
