Each March, CT NOFA holds our signature event, the Winter Conference, featuring the Bill Duesing Organic Living on the Earth Award, our annual meeting, and a keynote address. Also included are a variety of workshops on farming, seed saving, organic land care, community food security, social justice issues, and more. The conference also includes dedicated meetup times for Farmer Circles – peer learning and social communities for farmers and agricultural groups with shared interests or from similar backgrounds.

Join us for the 39th Annual NOFA/Mass Winter Conference — a one-day gathering to learn about healthy soil principles put into practice. This year, we’ll explore what makes soil thrive: from the rich microbial life underground to the human communities and cultural practices that sustain it above.

Part of a broader effort to advance healthy soil goals across Massachusetts farms and gardens,
in alignment with the Massachusetts Healthy Soils Action Plan.

Join For:

• A Living Soils Keynote to start the day

• The Seed Hub (bring seeds to swap!)

The Interstate Council of NOFA is made up of members from 7 State NOFA Chapters. We come together to share common initiatives, experiences, challenges, and successes.  Laura Davis, IC President, will highlight the important work of the Interstate Council.

The Interstate Council Policy Committee includes Policy employees from the region and works on the National Stage. Steve Gilman will give an update as to what the team has been working on this year.
