2022 NOFA-VT Winter Conference: Dream Into Being
Our 40th annual Winter Conference, Dream Into Being, is an invitation to pause, collectively dream the agricultural future we long for, and learn together about seeds to plant today to grow the fruits of tomorrow. Each year, the NOFA-VT Winter Conference provides a valuable opportunity for farmers, homesteaders, gardeners, land managers, educators, students, producers, policy-makers, and other food-system activists to participate in our vibrant community event by sharing ideas, resources, and skills. It is a time to celebrate, gather, and connect over the winter.
This year's conference is online, featuring interactive workshops, a featured speaker series, trivia night, a film screening, and more! Sliding scale and free admission available for BIPOC folks. Register here.
