The Northeast Organic Farming Association of New Hampshire (NOFA-NH) hosted its third annual “The CRAFT* of Farming” Program (*Collaborative Regional Alliances for Farmer Training), in New Hampshire in 2021 with six certified organic farms, this program reached approximately 90 farmers, farm workers, homesteaders, gardeners, and eaters through six in-person farm tours during the growing season. Each farm tour focused on a different theme, providing technical education and support for farmers and farm workers by bringing them together in the fields, vineyards, and forests to learn new skills. Discussion topics included: land access, no-till practices, intensive growing, small-scale efficiencies, community partnerships, leasing land, diversification, certified organic maple production, reading the landscape and thinking from an ecological perspective. The first farm tour, which focused on land access, was hosted in collaboration with Vital Communities and Land for Good, furthering the program’s reach and creating additional value to the hosts and attendees.
