Farming is Hard Work. Getting Help Doesn't Have to Be.

We know that farming is hard work. The environmental, financial, social, and emotional pressures on farmers can be an intense burden to bear. But that doesn’t mean that you should have to bear it alone. In partnership with UNH Extension, NOFA-NH has developed a Farmer Mental Health Campaign and a comprehensive list of resources for farmers in search of mental health services, as well as mental health resources for professionals who provide services and technical assistance to farmers. Each month we will be tackling different topics and sharing helpful tools, resources, grants, and more to support farmers in the Granite State.

CT River Watershed Best Management Practices Survey & Project

Windham County Natural Resources Conservation District and project partners throughout VT and NH are working to identify best management practices (BMPs) for reducing nitrogen runoff into the CT River Watershed. NOFA-NH is a member of the CT River Watershed Planning Project steering committee and producer outreach subcommittee.

Producers who farm in the CT River Watershed are invited to participate in a 10-15 minute survey on which BMP’s they practice or would be most willing to implement. Surveys are 100% confidential and will not be used for reporting or regulatory purposes. Producer stipends are available—receive a $50 gift card for participating!

NOFA's Farm Bill Principles Platform

The farm bill is an omnibus bill (i.e. a package of legislation combined into one bill) passed roughly once every five years. This bill includes the bulk of the federal legislation that relates to agriculture, food, and the food system. As such, it has a massive impact on how food is grown, sold, distributed, and bought in this country.

The previous farm bill expired in September 2023, and a new farm bill is expected to be passed later this year. Learn more about NOFAs platform for the upcoming bill and how you can get involved by visiting our Farm Bill webpage.
