NOFA Summer Conference
2024 NOFA Summer Conference Announcement
Dear NOFA/Mass Supporters,
For the past 40+ years, the NOFA Summer Conference has been a perennial opportunity for farmers, gardeners, food activists, land care professionals, and others to come together to learn, mingle, and celebrate.
We’ve decided to let the Summer Conference lie fallow this year, so we can regenerate, focusing on a strong 2025 NOFA/Mass Winter Conference and gathering with the other NOFA Chapters to reinvision collaborative opportunities across the region.
While we will miss the opportunity to come together as a community to learn and grow in the conference setting, this summer, NOFA/Mass’s Education Department will be hosting over 20 events, many of them free, across multiple events series, including on-farm soil health trainings, networking & social events, and educational webinars.
Recordings from the 2023 Summer Conference are now available!
If you attended the conference, they were sent out via email.
Missed the conference? All of the recordings are available for in our store.
NOFA is a non-profit organization of over 5,000 small-scale farmers, gardeners, consumers and food system reformers.
We promote healthy food, organic regenerative farming practices, and climate disruption solutions through soil management strategies.
The theme of the Summer Conference was
Buen Vivir : Celebrating Harmony with Nature and our Communities
Buen Vivir : Celebrating Harmony with Nature and our Communities
Buen Vivir is a contemporary philosophy rooted in Indigenous Andean traditions of collective care, land stewardship and harmonious co-existence.
Spend the week engaging with farming technologies, practices and thoughts around good, vital and just living for all, at the community scale!
