NH Herbal Network
NOFA-NH is proud to extend a place at our table to the herbalists and herb enthusiasts in our state. We worked together to put on the successful NOFA NH Herb & Garlic Day last October. This year, the New Hampshire Herbal Network (NHHN) has joined NOFA to support our like-minded interests in sustainability, organics, stewardship, and home-grown health. Herbal practitioners, herb growers, and small herbal businesses are thrilled to work alongside our local organic farmers to reach a broader group with pertinent topics and events.
