Serving paella at last year’s CT NOFA conference.
CT NOFA is the Connecticut Chapter of the Northeast Organic Farming Association. CT NOFA is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening the practices of ecologically sound farming and gardening and to the development of local sustainable agriculture. CT NOFA is a growing community of farmers, gardeners, lawn care professionals, businesses and consumers that encourage a healthy relationship to the natural world.
The 2014 Winter Conference is Connecticut’s largest food, agriculture and sustainability conference and brings into focus the challenges of the next generation of farmers and how they affect all of us. It provides a resource and sustenance for upwards of 800-1000 good food advocates in CT and parts of NY. There will be workshops to discuss the future of sustainable farming, celebrate local food and much more. In between workshops, attendees can visit with over 50 vendors and exhibitors featuring local foods, crafts, books and sustainability initiatives.
The keynote speaker will be Fred Kirschenmann, a Distinguished Fellow for the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University and President of Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture in Pocantico Hills, NY. The tile of his talk is “Tomorrow’s Farmer & You.”
If you’re interested in joining us, the event is taking place at Western Connecticut State University on March 1st from 8:30am – 5:00pm. For more information, visit ctnofa.org.
