This one-day event provides a place to learn, gather, and kindle relationships in community with farmers, local food enthusiasts, land care professionals, advocates, elders, young leaders, and everyone in between!

In-person only, with access to workshop recordings after the conference.

Join us for an engaging plenary discussion on regional soil health to start the day, a lively Seed Swap, a fair full of beloved and brand-new vendors, Spanish language food systems sessions, racial justice discussion groups, native plant and pollinator presentations, and of course, special topics for all sorts of growers.

For soil health through the freshest eye, we’re hosting a Children’s Conference within the conference. All attendees ages 5 - 12 are welcome. This program places emphasis on learning about soil and other gifts of Nature, as well as snack making and game playing.

Your presence at NOFA/Mass’s 2025 Winter Conference will make a difference, as we gather through the lens of abundance. Firmly rooted in our vision for a just and resilient food system, we are learning and sharing to flourish together!
