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 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!
