Summer Conference 2023 Workshop Recordings

Through our work and our principles as organic growers, we know that the wellbeing of nature is fundamental to the wellbeing of our bodies and communities.
 
This year's theme of Buen Vivir: Celebrating Harmony with Nature and our Communities spanned a week of online workshops, and culminated in a hybrid weekend experience online and in person, which connected growers, workers, community leaders, friends of pollinators and land stewards.
 
We invite you to connect with these skill-generating, knowledge-enhancing and community- building conversations!
 
After you make your purchase, workshop recordings from the July 24-29 workshops will arrive in your inbox in the form of a link to a playlist which offers 30+ hours of insight, wisdom and lessons shared by peers, specialists and thought leaders working in the Northeast and far beyond. 
 
Your purchase supports NOFA Conference staff and our ongoing education programming. Thank you for your support, and may you glean inspiration from these sessions!
 
As you access the videos, keep in mind that you are welcome to watch with friends and family, but please do not share the link or embed videos elsewhere online.
