NOFA-VT 2026 Winter Conference

February 14 & 15, 2026  | Saint Michael's College, Colchester, VT

The NOFA-VT Winter Conference provides a valuable opportunity for farmers, gardeners, land stewards, educators, students, policymakers, and organizers in the food system to share ideas, resources, and skills. 

This year’s theme is Seeding the Future. Every day, everywhere, people are sowing the seeds we need to grow a more just and resilient food system. The ideas and values we invest in today will be the harvests of our future, and we invite you to join us at the NOFA-VT Winter Conference to think like a seed-saver—literally, as keynote speaker Ira Wallace shares her wisdom from a lifetime of stewarding and safegaurding heirloom seeds, and metaphorically as we cultivate the seeds of possibility in a full slate of agriculture and food-system-related workshops, roundtable discussions, meet-ups, and activities.

On Saturday, February 14, enjoy the main conference, while on Sunday, February 15, we will deep-dive into singular topics during all-day intensive workshops. Attend either day, or join us for both!
