NOFAvore Socials

You’ve probably heard the term “localvore” for someone who eats locally-grown food; we invite you to become a NOFAvore - someone who eats food that is local AND organic!

Our NOFAvore socials provide an opportunity to talk more with workshop leaders and participants; meet NOFA Vermont staff, volunteers, and other like-minded folks; and eat some delicious pizza with ingredients raised right on the host farm! 

Workshop attendance is not required - you can always come for just the workshop, just pizza, or both! Two of our socials are associated with farm tours rather than workshops; see below for details.

A donation is suggested for your NOFAvore dinner, which will include pizza, salad, drinks, and lots of fun!

Please register online or contact the office (info@nofavt.org or (802) 434-4122) if you plan to attend - that way we'll be sure to have enough pizza to go around!
