Hundreds of people (over 1000 registered) came out February 18th for NOFA-VT's first in person Winter Conference since 2020. It was a full day with incredible keynote speaker Winona LaDuke, 40 educational and hands-on workshops, art, music, delicious food, an exhibitors fair, a children's conference, and many social activities. After 5 months of planning, I was proud of all the community building and knowledge sharing opportunities created and inspired by the energy of the farm and food movement. Everyone was thrilled to gather again! Who knew weeks of coordinating presenters, exhibitors, volunteers, and staff could have such an impact.
