FARM MEMBERSHIP (for all CT farms)
CT NOFA membership is perfect for all USDA Certified Organic or other farms who share our organic values and are striving for sustainability on their farms.
CT NOFA Farm Members enjoy all the benefits of Business Membership including the opportunity to be listed on the CT NOFA Farm & Food Guide website, guide.ctnofa.org. Benefits for farms include:
- Free listings on CT NOFA’s Classified and Community Board webpage
- Consulting for those who need help with their planning and application for organic certification for crops, livestock, poultry, eggs, wild crops, mushrooms, sprouts, processed products, and cranberries. The first 4 hours of help are free and are paid for by the generosity of CT NOFA Donors.
*FARMERS: Business membership ($125) brings many proportional benefits and the dues are essential for our operations and our ability to maintain the most complete list of organic and sustainable farm in Connecticut. That said, if memberships dues are a challenge, we still want you listed on the Farm & Food Guide website. Simply go ahead and renew your farm at our lower levels ($50/$60). Thank you for farming in Connecticut!
