NOFA-VT Winter Conference

Each year, the NOFA-VT Winter Conference provides a valuable opportunity for farmers, homesteaders, gardeners, earth tenders, land managers, educators, students, policy-makers, and other food system activists to participate in our vibrant community event by sharing ideas, resources, and skills.

Thank you to everyone who attended our 43rd annual Winter Conference in Burlington, on February 15th and 16th, 2025! This year's conference focused on growing our collective agency by building relationships with each other. The event included over 40 workshops on topics from bird flu prevention to mushroom foraging, special meet-ups, roundtable discussions, community art making, an exhibitors fair, live music, and a keynote speech from two fierce small-farm advocates, Dãnia Davy, Esq. and Tim Gibbons of Missouri Rural Crisis Center.
