In our typical Make and Take style, participants will leave this class with a beautiful planter they designed themselves. We have a selection of plants that will look great in the warmer late summer days and beyond the first frost. Among them are rudbeckia, ornamental grasses, hedera ivy, ornamental kale, and culinary herbs that can be harvested for hearty fall stews. You may choose to pair your planter with the traditional look of mums and pumpkins - both of which we will be selling in the Plant Shop.

NOFA-VT members in the Mad River Valley and beyond: a local farm needs your help to stock local food shelves!
At NOFA-VT, we envision a Vermont where farms and agriculturally-rooted communities thrive together—nourishing the earth and one another. Part of realizing that vision means showing up for one another when abundance arrives faster than hands can keep up. It’s in those moments that mutual aid becomes a powerful act of food sovereignty and an exercise in community care.
In eleven full-day workshops from September to June, our one year part-time practical training in biodynamics covers the basic principles and timely activities of biodynamic agriculture through the seasons.
We are holding a live zoom session Aug 6th for anyone interested in exploring our training, but who might have questions before signing up.
Mac and our team will share a brief overview of our course and answer all of your questions about our course.
Hi NOFA Farmers,
It's great to meet you - we are Wasted* - a Williston based company rethinking sanitation by turning human urine into safe and all-natural fertilizer. We do our work in Vermont because this brave little state understands that cleaned urine is safe to use as an agricultural input - a strategy farmers have used for millennium.
🧡 Our mission: close the nutrient loop by capturing nitrogen and phosphorus before they pollute our waterways, and returning them to local soil where they belong.
♻️ We are growing a network of farm and retail partners committed to sustainability and circular resource use, and we’d love to work together.
🧑🌾 We are in the process of pursuing OMRI listing - i.e. becoming a registered input for organic farmers!
🌎 If you believe in creating local alternatives to energy-intensive and extractive fertilizers, and keeping nutrients out of watersheds and recycling them for agricultural use, here’s how you can champion this work:
✍️ Sign a short, non-binding statement of interest to grow confidence with our regulators and investors by demonstrating demand for an organic (OMRI listed), regenerative (recycled), and regionally sourced (local) fertilizer.
To partner with us, please fill out our quick farm partner form and we’ll be in touch with next steps 🌱 Please fill this out by September 1, 2025.
Thanks,
Rachel Binstock, Wasted* Chief of Staff
