2026 CT NOFA Winter Conference Slated for March 7
November 14, 2025
We’re excited to announce that our 44th annual winter conference will be taking place March 7, 2026, at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. It will be proceeded by 3 days of virtual workshops, March 3-5.
Tickets include access to all virtual workshops, the in-person conference on March 7 (including lunch), and exclusive access to all virtual workshop recordings for 3 months after the conference. Tickets are available now and in several formats:
- $70 – CT NOFA Members
- $70 – Accredited Organic Land Care Professionals
- $90 – General Admission
- $100 – Bronze Supporter Ticket (this ticket helps to defray the cost of lunch for scholarship attendees)
- $120 – Silver Supporter Ticket (this ticket helps cover the conference and lunch cost for scholarship attendees)
- $140 – Gold Supporter Ticket (this ticket fully funds an additional scholarship ticket for someone who would otherwise be unable to attend)
We’re deeply appreciative of those who are able to ‘pay it forward’ by choosing one of the Supporter tier tickets. By doing so, we are able to make scholarship tickets available to those who might not otherwise be able to attend.

CT NOFA Launches Equipment Share Program
CT NOFA is proud to announce the launch of our Equipment Share Program. In partnership with The Hickories in Ridgefield, Connecticut, this program aims to provide both commercial farmers and home gardeners free access to both specialized equipment and expertise in a shared environment. Equipment Share days at The Hickories will include free soil analysis, seed winnowing services, nut cleaning, compost tea brewing workshops, and much more.
Advocacy News: May 2026
The Good News: CT Senator Chris Murphy has introduced a bill (bipartisan and bicameral) to increase funding for Agricultural Management Assistance to $30 million and to expand the eligible uses for these funds to include “soil health improvements, composting, implementing organic farming, and food safety certification in addition to existing authorized uses such as water management structure and soil erosion control.” Let’s thank Senator Murphy for introducing this bill!
The Bad News: The Farm Bill passed the House of Representatives on April 30, despite 320 food, farm, and conservation organizations, including CT NOFA, voicing our opposition to a bill that does not fix SNAP, does not support new and beginning farmers, and does not adequately support conservation programs or organic agriculture. Now it goes to the Senate and we need to urge both of Connecticut’s Senators to reject this Farm Bill.
