The NOFA Tri-State Bulk Order is Now Open! Get exceptional farming and gardening products at affordable prices while supporting your NOFA chapter! We recommend that you plan to shop early this year, to help your Bulk Order team and our suppliers best manage product availability and shipping time.

The Bulk Order lets you order from a variety of suppliers that offer an array of agricultural supplies at low cost. We lower costs by ordering directly from suppliers, who often provide NOFA/Mass with discounted prices, and by coordinating various pick up sites across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. You’ll be able to access hard-to-find items and save on shipping costs. You can pick up your orders on set dates in March and April each year.
