NOFA Chapters Soliciting Government Shutdown Impact Feedback
October 20, 2025
The seven Northeast Organic Farming Association chapters (CT-NOFA, NOFA-MA, NOFA-NH, NOFA-NJ, NOFA-NY, NOFA-RI and NOFA-VT), and the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) are documenting the impacts of the current government shutdown, and the expiration of the enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits, on farmers and farm workers in our region.
Our goals in collecting this information are:
- to share the economic, environmental, and social impacts being felt across our region with our congressional delegations.
- to understand what our membership is going through and identify how we can best be supportive.
-
to possibly reach out and connect with you if a narrative, media, or legal strategy develops to take collective action.
