Frozen Funding and its Impact on Farmers and the NOFA Community

Over the last six weeks, several federal grants for farmers have been frozen, existing contracts have been broken, and websites containing data that farmers rely on have been taken down.

CT NOFA and our sister NOFA chapters are determined to continue our mission, to serve our community in all of its diversity, and to continue our work to mitigate and adapt to climate change. We are documenting the impacts of the recent federal funding freeze and executive orders on farmers and food businesses in the Northeast.

In this workshop, we will share information about what is happening in our state to farmers, to the organizations and agencies that serve our farmers and food systems, and what actions we are taking to advocate for our organic farm, food, and land care community.
