2025 Farm Share Program Application for Farmers.png

Farm Applications for the 2025 Farm Share Program are open!

The 2025 Farm Share Program application for farms is open through February 9th.

Historically, only certified organic farms with a CSA could participate in NOFA-NH's Farm Share Program. In 2024 NOFA-NH opened the application to include certified organic farms with a farm stand, farm store, and farmer’s market booth. For 2025 we are expanding the application to both certified organic farms and non-certified farms that are either transitioning to organic or implement approved practices. All farms must be members of NOFA-NH to participate. Low-cost NOFA-NH memberships are available to increase program and membership access.

Farmers can learn more and apply at www.nofanh.org/farm-share-program.

Farming is Hard Work. Getting Help Doesn't Have to Be.

We know that farming is hard work. The environmental, financial, social, and emotional pressures on farmers can be an intense burden to bear. But that doesn’t mean that you should have to bear it alone. In partnership with UNH Extension, NOFA-NH has developed a Farmer Mental Health Campaign and a comprehensive list of resources for farmers in search of mental health services, as well as mental health resources for professionals who provide services and technical assistance to farmers. Each month we will be tackling different topics and sharing helpful tools, resources, grants, and more to support farmers in the Granite State.

Go Organic! TOPP Mentor/Mentee Applications are Open

The Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP) is a peer-to-peer Mentorship program which provides technical support, program support, certification support, educational and community events, workforce development and more!

Applications are open year-round, but each fall and late winter we start the matching process for Mentees and experienced organic Mentors to start the process of transitioning to organic. Now is the time to sign-up! Applications are open to farms or processors that sell retail or wholesale to the public and intend to certify their operations.

To learn more, visit www.nofanh.org/topp, email Teresa at teresa@nofanh.org, attend the monthly Farmers Organic Roundtable or call our office at 603-224-5022.

CT River Watershed Best Management Practices Survey & Project

Windham County Natural Resources Conservation District and project partners throughout VT and NH are working to identify best management practices (BMPs) for reducing nitrogen runoff into the CT River Watershed. NOFA-NH is a member of the CT River Watershed Planning Project steering committee and producer outreach subcommittee.

Producers who farm in the CT River Watershed are invited to participate in a 10-15 minute survey on which BMP’s they practice or would be most willing to implement. Surveys are 100% confidential and will not be used for reporting or regulatory purposes. Producer stipends are available—receive a $50 gift card for participating!

NOFA's Farm Bill Principles Platform

The farm bill is an omnibus bill (i.e. a package of legislation combined into one bill) passed roughly once every five years. This bill includes the bulk of the federal legislation that relates to agriculture, food, and the food system. As such, it has a massive impact on how food is grown, sold, distributed, and bought in this country.

The previous farm bill expired in September 2023, and a new farm bill is expected to be passed later this year. Learn more about NOFAs platform for the upcoming bill and how you can get involved by visiting our Farm Bill webpage.
