Volunteer
As a small, non-profit organization, NOFA-NH relies on volunteers for the success of our programs – from planning our annual Winter Conference to assisting with the spring Bulk Order pick-up, serving on our Board of Directors or on a Board Committee, and more!
Your support as a volunteer is invaluable — it allows us to continue building a community of organic food activists and educated consumers to help support New Hampshire's local organic farming community.
