The organic agriculture movement may not be a new phenomena, but it is a vital one. Help support that movement by becoming a sponsor of our 2027 Winter Conference. In addition to helping us continue the fight for organic agriculture, you’ll enjoy numerous benefits leading up to and at the conference.

Join us at CT NOFA's 45th annual Winter Conference on March 13, 2027 to connect with 300+ farmers, home gardeners, and organic advocates from across the region. Agricultural industry suppliers, education and resource-providing organizations, environmental conservation groups, and others are invited to register for an exhibitor table.

The CT NOFA Winter Conference educational slate of workshops is made possible thanks to the interest and enthusiasm of our knowledgeable community members. Are you an expert on a topic that would be of interest to conference attendees? We’d love to hear from you.

After more than three years of programming, the USDA-funded Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP) is concluding.

In this webinar, Dr. Joseph Amsili, Director of the Cornell Soil Health Program, joins us to discuss soil health and soil testing interpretation, discussing what information you’ll find in laboratory soil testing results and what it means.

Compost tea, an excellent organic fertilizer and soil biology builder, is easy to make and can provide significant benefits to both home gardens and commercial agricultural operations. In this video, CT NOFA’s Soil Health Program Manager, Monique Bosch, is joined by Justin Hawrysh, Livestock Manager at The Hickories in Ridgefield, CT, to discuss compost tea: the science behind it, how it benefits plants and soil, and both small and large scale production models.
