NOFA-NH Hosts Virtual Farm Tours

NOFA-NH Hosts Virtual Farm Tours

Professional Development in Organic Farming

The Northeast Organic Farming Association of New Hampshire (NOFA-NH) is hosting six virtual farm tours as part of its CRAFT Program focused on peer-to-peer learning, and professional and workforce development in New Hampshire’s organic farming community. NOFA-NH’s CRAFT (Collaborative Regional Alliances for Farmer Training) Program will provide educational opportunities for farmers and farmworkers in New Hampshire by developing a support network focused on best practices in organic farming.

Craft Program

The CRAFT Program will focus on the development of current and future farmers and farm workers by creating settings that provide technical education and social support. Farmworkers will have opportunities to learn from experienced growers, share with peers, and to build stronger social networks among farmers, aspiring farmers, and the public. This program will serve established and beginning farmers interested in organic farming careers, and anyone interested in growing their own food in the Granite State.

NOFA-NH is proud to partner with the below farms on the following virtual farm tour topics:

  • Work Song Farm, Starting Small & Staying Small (7/30/2020 7 – 8 PM)
  • Hip Peas Farm, Market Gardening Efficiency & Season Extension (8/12/2020 7 – 8 PM)
