GOOD HARD WORK:
Ecosystems, Economics, Energy, & Equity
In January 2016, NOFA-NY will host its 34th annual Organic Farming & Gardening Conference. The theme for the conference - "Good Hard Work: Ecosystems, Economics, Energy, & Equity" - honors farmers and farm workers and the invaluable positive impact organic farming has on the world. To inspire thought and discussion, Rosalinda Guillen, executive director of Community to Community Development, will be the keynote speaker. Rosalinda is known for her efforts to build a broader base of support for rural communities and sustainable agriculture policies that ensure equity and healthy communities for farm workers. Our 2016 NOFA-NY Farm of the year is Kathie Arnold. She has been a co-owner and operatof or Twin Oaks Dairy LLC in Truxton, NY, with her family since 1980. Kathie has been a tireless advocate for organic dairy farming and a leader in her community. Each year at our conference, we strive to inspire, as well as inform, and to provide an unparalleled opportunity for networking and for reciprocal teaching and learning. We look forward to seeing you in Saratoga this coming January.
