Rooted in shared purpose and growing together, the NOFA-NH Winter Conference is a celebration of community, resilience, and the transformative power of local food. This year’s theme, Taking Root: Nourishing Community, honors the deep connections between land, people, and practices that sustain us. Over the course of the conference, participants will engage in workshops, thought-provoking discussions, and skill-building sessions led by farmers, gardeners, advocates, and educators. It’s a place to collaborate with community members, exchange ideas, connect with old friends and new allies, and leave feeling recharged and inspired. We look forward to coming together in the spirit of growth, learning, and shared purpose.
