NOFA Tri-State 2024 Bulk Order Now Open
January 15, 2024
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.
This year, find the great selection you’re accustomed to as well as some new products this year including:
- Super-durable seedling trays from Neversink Farm
- A fertilizer/amendment blend for soil-based hemp growers
- A microBIOMETER to test your soil organic material
- Tea Seed Meal from North Country Organics
- And more!
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.

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.
Our Vision for a Future of Resilient, Plentiful, Healthy and Locally-Grounded Farming and Food
In concluding its annual retreat, the Northeast Organic Farming Association Interstate Council (NOFA IC) reaffirms the values that have grounded our work for 55 years.
Our vision is that every person is able to live their life with healthy food, clean water and air, community, livelihood, dignity, and purpose within the means of our life-giving planet. We seek that vision on every level, from our households and farms to our communities, states, bioregions, nation, and world. For that vision to be fulfilled, every person, no matter their origin or circumstances, must have all their basic human needs met without degrading the air, water, soil, ecosystems, and climate which we have been given and on which we depend for our lives.
