Farm Share Spotlight: Radical Roots Farm
February 16, 2024
Radical Roots Farm in Canterbury is participating in CT NOFA’s Farm Share Program, which provides reduced cost Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares – also known as farm shares – to Connecticut residents in need of financial assistance.
Radical Roots Farm is a small, veteran, and woman owned family farm located in eastern CT’s Quiet Corner. They raise heritage breeds of livestock in a biodynamic system for nutrient density and high quality proteins. In 2024 they plan to add more fruit and vegetables to round out their offerings.
Their full share consists of a total of 108 lbs. of the most delicious and healthy beef, pork, and chicken you will ever have. The quality of these proteins are sure to satisfy your craving for meat and will fill you up with well-raised and cared for goodness! A sample share might include 1 whole chicken, breakfast sausage, ground beef, beef short ribs, pork chops, bacon, stew beef, strip steak.
If you are a Connecticut resident who is interested in a reduced cost CSA share from Radical Roots Farm, visit their website to apply for a share.

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.
