Mission

Through education and advocacy nofa/ mass promotes organic agriculture to expand the production and availability of nutrious food from living soil for the health of individuals, communities and the planet.

Programs

2 programs

Nofa/mass organizes the nofa tristate bulk order, a collective buying program for organic farm and garden products, on behalf of ctnofa, nofa-ri and nofa/mass. We work with a variety of companies to offer an array of agricultural supplies to nofa/mass members and nonmembers at reduced cost. We are able to keep prices low by ordering directly from suppliers, who often provide nofa/mass withdiscounted rates. Ordering is open from january 1-31 each year and customers can pick up their orders in march and april at various sites across massachusetts, connecticut, and rhode island. The bulk order allows people to save money on growing supplies, provides access to hardtofind certified organic items, and builds connections within the agricultural community

Nofa/mass provides both in-person and virtual educational workshops for farmers, gardeners, consumers and activists on a range of topics related to organic growing practices and healthy living. Workshops are varied to accomodate attendees with a wide range of skill levels, backgrounds, interests and experience.
