On March 1, 2014 the Connecticut Chapter of the Northeast Organic Farming Association (“CT NOFA”) will hold its 2014 Winter Conference at the Western Connecticut State University. CT NOFA is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening the practices of ecologically sound farming and gardening, and to the development of local sustainable agriculture. Its efforts give consumers increased access to safe and healthy food.
The conference is Connecticut's largest and brings into focus the challenges of the next generation of farmers and how they affect us all. The Conference will also feature lunch catered by some of Fairfield County's top farm to table restaurants including Barcelona, LeFarm, The Whelk, Bar Sugo and Sugar & Olives.
The conference will also feature a variety of workshops focusing on organic food, farming, gardening and food justice.
