CT NOFA is proud to present our 41st Winter Conference, to be held the second week of March, kicking off on Monday, March 6th, 2023 with a week of live virtual workshops and concluding on March 11th with an in-person gathering and celebration at Wesleyan University.
We'll be offering 20+ live virtual workshops on farming, seed saving, organic land care, community food security, social justice issues, and more.
The CT NOFA mission is to ensure the growth and viability of organic agriculture, organic food, and organic land care in Connecticut.
Featured Program
CT NOFA’s Farm Share Program reduces the cost of a local CSA (community supported agriculture) share for individuals in need of financial assistance, while ensuring farmers are fully paid. A CSA is a subscription (usually weekly) from a farm for a regular supply of farm-fresh veggies, dairy products, meats, bread, and more. Curious about this direct-to-consumer model?
