NOFA Virtual Symposium

March 29 @ 9:00 am - March 30 @ 3:00 pm

The chapters of the Northeast Organic Farming Association are excited to offer a new virtual experience this winter. Join all of us online to hear from speakers on important topics in agriculture and our food system. This is a unique opportunity to connect as a region with other organic advocates, farmers, home growers, non-profit professionals, and more.

¿Alguna vez ha pensado en sumergirse en el mundo de la salud del suelo y conversar sobre cuáles prácticas serían mejores para su propia finca? Este evento es un espacio para agricultores BIPOC.  Pueden explorar y crear conexiones con clientes, con el mercado y con la salud de la tierra. Exploraremos nuestras fortalezas, necesidades y las oportunidades de nuestras propias granjas incluyendo conversaciones sobre la posibilidad de certificarse como granja orgánica.

Have you been looking to dive deeper into the world of soil health, and discuss what practices make the most sense for your farm? This event is a space for BIPOC farmers to explore connections with customers, markets and soil health. Together, we’ll be exploring our strengths, needs and opportunities within our farms, including discussions on the option of organic certification. We’ll develop a more clear understanding around the intersections of our financial investments, love for farming and desire to serve our communities.

Mass Pollinator Network Brown Bag Lunch

April 3 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Please stop by to meet other pollinator advocates, ask questions of our experts, learn about projects happening across the state, talk about your own activities, and more! Stay for the entire meeting or just pop in for what you can.

We are excited to invite you to our bimonthly Soil Health Calls! These calls are designed to provide a platform for farmers, researchers, and experts to share their knowledge, experiences, and insights on soil health.  Our aim is to create a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about improving soil health. Our calls will cover a range of topics related to soil health, including soil biology, organic matter, nutrient management, and any topic of relevance to the NOFA community and beyond. We will also have guest speakers who will share their expertise and insights on the latest developments in the field.
