We need your help to build a strong organic community in NH!
NOFA-NH is a diverse member-based 501(c)3 non-profit organization made up of knowledgeable and passionate farmers, gardeners, land care professionals, educators, advocates, and eaters. We truly appreciate our members’ support in furthering our mission to help people build local, just, and sustainable food systems by actively promoting organic, regenerative, ecologically sound farming, gardening, eating and land care practices for healthy communities. Our work would not be possible without the vision of our Members. Thank you for considering being a part of our growing community! Learn more about our Membership Types and Member Benefits below.
Membership Types
​
NOFA-NH Membership is open to all individuals — farmers, gardeners, food system workers, and eaters — who share common interests in growing and consuming nutritious, organic, great-tasting food and in preserving a healthy environment that nurtures all of us.
NOFA-NH's new annual membership structure covers one individual per membership with one voting right* in addition to the membership benefits below, and range in price from $5 to $100. We recognize many existing members have covered two or more people under one membership. We welcome all new and renewing members to select the membership level that works best for you, your loved ones, and colleagues, including mixing and matching financial membership levels below. Current members do not need to update their membership until their expiration month.
Local farmers and business owners are welcome to become members using the below individual member levels and to have their farm or business name listed in NOFA-NH’s annual report. *Voting rights are for the individual member, not the associated farm or business. Farms and businesses interested in additional promotional benefits and partnership may become Community Sponsors.
Please reach out to us at info@nofanh.org with any questions about the new membership levels and structure, becoming a Community Sponsor, or if you need to check the current status of your membership.
