1. CT NOFA Winter Food Program Survey

 
CT NOFA (the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Connecticut) was awarded over $73,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to develop a program specifically for specialty crops in Connecticut. Titled “Winter Food: Growing, Storing, Marketing and Cooking Specialty Crops for the Cold Season”, this program will focus on increasing the availability, sales and consumption of locally-grown, organic and sustainable fruits, vegetables and herbs in the winter and on educating farmers in the best practices for growing, storing and marketing winter crops.

This survey of Connecticut farmers will help determine a baseline of which farms produce winter food and how they are successful in marketing it. Thank you!
