    SEASON 7: Ep1: Voices of The Winter Conference

    This episode is a culmination of voices and stories of our NOFA community members that visited the in person Winter Conferences.  For those of you who don’t already know, most of the NOFA state chapters host an annual Winter Conference.  Some are jam packed single days, others are weekend long intensives, and others have been held in a more virtual online format.  None-the-less the Winter Conference is filled with workshops, presentations, and experiences for Farmers, Gardeners, Foodies, Chefs, and Agricultural and Environmental Policy advocates.  And it’s one of the greatest places to connect with other people who are equally, and sometimes even more passionate about the work we’re all doing.  Hear the stories and intentions of people like YOU from NY, NJ, CT, VT, MASS, RI, NH, PA and MA!
