2027 Winter Conference Sponsorship

Sponsor the 2027 Winter Conference

Join us for the 40th Annual NOFA/Mass Winter Conference as we celebrate four decades of cultivating organic agriculture, resilient communities, and ecological stewardship.

This year’s theme, The Future We’re Growing, honors the knowledge and relationships that have shaped our movement while looking ahead to the future we are building together. Bridging past wisdom, present circumstance, and future possibility, the conference invites us to explore the ideas, innovations, and collaborations that will sustain our farms, food systems, and landscapes for generations to come.

The NOFA/Mass Winter Conference is a long-standing gathering rooted in organic agriculture, ecological land stewardship, and resilient food systems. Each year, hundreds of farmers, gardeners, land stewards, educators, food systems professionals, researchers, and community members from across Massachusetts and the Northeast come together to learn, share knowledge, and strengthen connections across our growing community.

Community Testimonials

“”Thank you…great conference!
I’ve attended many NOFA conferences in other states and it’s great to connect with the community here.”

“I am inspired by the diverse group of young farmers and farm advocates that I meet at NOFA events.”

“Plenary! Set the stage and tenor for the rest of the day! An excellent combo of science, humanity, and call to action.”

“I am inspired by the caliber of the new generation of farmers. There was so much awareness expressed about the different movements emerging that it seems possible to create the connections to dismantle capitalism, establish regenerative practices on an institutional scale, and bring humans into harmony with nature.”
