The CT NOFA mission is to ensure the growth and viability of organic agriculture, organic food, and organic land care in Connecticut.

2026 Winter Conference

CT NOFA is proud to present our 44th Winter Conference, featuring a series of virtual workshops on March 3-5 in the lead up to our full day, in-person gathering and celebration on March 7, 2026 at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut.

We'll be offering a variety of workshops, covering topics such as farming, organic land care, government policy, homesteading and gardening, food equity, and more, including a soon-to-be-announced keynote speaker. Our in-person celebration will also feature the presentation of the Bill Duesing Organic Living on the Earth award and our members' annual meeting.

Join us in March as we learn, grow, innovate, and think critically about what we want our food system to look like in the future.

Conference registration includes access to all virtual and in-person sessions, lunch at the conference, and exclusive access to all recordings for 3 months after the event.
