Join CT NOFA at Fall Gatherings in New Haven and Newtown this November
October 30, 2024
In celebration of autumn, join us this November for a pair of gatherings with CT NOFA members and friends in New Haven and Newtown – all are invited!
As farm activities wind down with the end of the growing season, these events are the perfect venue for catching up with farmers and friends from across our community to celebrate the successes – as well as bemoan the pitfalls! – of a long summer. Bring friends…or make some new ones…but definitely join us!
These events are part of our fall fundraising appeal. Attendance is entirely free and without obligation! (Other than, we hope, good humor and happiness from all.) However, we hope you’ll consider them an opportunity to begin or renew an existing CT NOFA membership. Students and seniors can join for as little as $30, and individual memberships are $50. Supporting us as a registered CT NOFA member is a great way to invest in our mission of a more organic Connecticut, today and in the future!
