CT NOFA Board of Directors Positions Opening
April 6, 2023
CT NOFA is seeking new leaders from our community to join our board and help steward the organization into the future. CT NOFA has always been driven by the community it serves. Our board members come from all walks of life – farmers, entrepreneurs, academics, activists, and more – and we look forward to continuing to build a leadership team that is both ethnically and professionally diverse. What we all share is a desire to see organic agriculture and landscaping flourish in Connecticut within a fair and equitable food system for all.
Interested in helping guide NOFA towards our shared goal, or know someone who might be? We’d love to hear from you. For any inquiries regarding CT NOFA’s board of directors, please email board@ctnofa.org.

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.
