CT NOFA Launches Equipment Share Program

Equipment Share Program Announcement Banner

June 2, 2026

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.

The equipment available through this program is made possible thanks to generous donations by CT NOFA supporters, including funding for technical experts made possible by CT NOFA member and supporter, Dan Levinson.

To learn more about this new program and view the full calendar of access days and services, visit the Equipment Share Program page. New share days will be added over the course of the summer.
