Annual Community Farming Conference

Sponsored by CT NOFA
Jones Auditorium
Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station
New Haven, CT
February 9, 2008
8:30-3:00

The Community Farming Conference will connect three groups of people – towns and land trusts with land, community groups that want a local community farm with the food and educational opportunities it offers, and farmers who need land and local markets.

Featured speakers:

Bryan O'Hara - an organic farmer in Lebanon, will be speaking on "Farming for  Survival".

Brianne Casadei - will be speaking on the development of educational programs on her farm for all of the elementary school students in her town.

In addition, we will have a forum for community farms to exchange experiences and ideas, and small group gatherings to address particular issues of interest.

Fee (includes lunch): $35 for CT NOFA members, $45 for non-members
