NOFA-NH The Voice of Organic Agriculture in New Hampshire We help people build local, just, and sustainable food systems.

The Northeast Organic Farming Association of New Hampshire (NOFA-NH) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to building a community of organic food activists and educated consumers to help support New Hampshire's local organic farming community. We feel that organic farming is important to creating a sustainable future and recognize that more resources and greater education is needed to he

lp farmers, gardeners, and consumers learn to work together to build a support network. NOFA-NH recognizes that farmers, gardeners, and consumers of organic products share a "community of interests:" a common need to grow and consume safe, healthy, nutritious, great-tasting food; and a common interest in preserving a healthy environment that nurtures all of us. In an age of industrial agriculture, we're working to re-establish a shared sense of pride and participation in a community-based food system that links local farmers with local consumers, and rewards them both equally. NOFA-NH actively promotes organic, regenerative, ecologically sound farming, gardening, eating, and land care practices for healthy communities.

The DAMF has confirmed the presence of spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) in Salem. This marks the first field detection of spotted lanternfly in New Hampshire. There is no evidence of an established population at this time and additional multi agency surveys are underway to determine the extent of the detection.
Spotted lanternfly is an invasive pest already affecting parts of the Northeast, including southern New England and New York. It poses risks to vineyards, nurseries, and other agricultural and ornamental plants. While it does not harm people, pets, or structures, it can become a nuisance as infestations become more established over time.
Adults can be recognized by their distinctive spotted wings and are currently active. Identification resources are available at:

Residents and businesses are encouraged to report suspected sightings—including photos and location details—at:

We are a week away from our visit to Kolrose Farm!

Kolrose Farm is a certified organic farm on 4 acres of leased land from Brandmoore Farm. The farmer, Alex, will guide us through the process of poultry production from chicks to sales. Learn what is involved in pasturing both chickens and turkeys for meat. Timetables for ordering, raising, when to move them onto pasture and when to know when it's time, you know, to go to freezer camp.

We will dive into how pasturing is improving the pasture, how to determine stocking densities, and when and how to move them and feed them, while keeping the labor to a minimum.

Alex will discuss his collaboration with another organic farm for on-farm processing, and talk about what is involved and why.

We are only a few days away from the Organic Rising in NH event! There is still time to sign up to join us for an evening dedicated to community, connection, and peer-to-peer knowledge sharing!

As the Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP) comes to a close, we are gathering at Brookford Farm to highlight the success of organic agriculture across New Hampshire. While organic farm numbers have declined nationally and statewide support for organic has dwindled, local farmer-to-farmer mentorship through TOPP has proven that collaborative knowledge sharing builds real, lasting resilience.

This educational event is designed to highlight successful approaches to organic transition. The program features keynote speaker Scott Chaskey—author, poet, and pioneer organic farmer—who will reflect on lessons learned throughout his career and share excerpts from his book, Soil and Spirit: Cultivation and Kinship in the Web of Life. TOPP farmer mentors and mentees will also share key strategies and practical insights for supporting and growing organic farming across the state. This event and potluck are open to the public, especially farmers, gardeners, and people who care about eating and supporting organic food and community.
