CIRCLES OF CARING
Organic Farming & Gardening Conference

Join Us! Throughout New York State and the Northeast, your clients-organic farmers, gardeners, eaters, food system advocates, and landscapers-have already marked their calendars for NOFA-NY's 28th annual winter conference. Last year's conference was a huge success with over 900 attendees. We are returning to Saratoga Springs this year to take advantage of the beautiful town and their great convention center. The facilities provide a welcoming and professional environment for our event and to showcase your business. We would love for you and your company to join us!

Each year more and more businesses and organizations support our conference because it is the place where people gather to learn, share, network, and plan for the next season.

People throughout the Northeast look to this winter conference to learn what is happening in the organic community. Attendees come for different reasons but they all share a commitment to and curiosity about organic farming, community building, and the celebration of food. This event is a unique opportunity for you and your business to introduce your products, services, and programs. The money you spend to be a Sponsor, Advertiser, or Trade Show Vendor, has a dual impact:

  • You efficiently reach your targeted customers in a friendly environment.
  • You support NOFA-NY's work and thereby grow the organic community and your customer base.

This conference brings everyone together - shouldn't your business be there?
