About

The Northeast Organic Farming Association of New Jersey (NOFA-NJ) is a membership-based educational non-profit organization and 2011 marks the 26th year of operation.  We envision a strong, resilient regional food system that provides health to the land and people. 

We are a unique collaboration among the stakeholders in our food system.  Our members and our governing board include farmers, gardeners, consumers, retailers, processors, educators,  policy-makers,  and researchers.  We serve as a catalyst in the development of a sustainable organic agricultural system; provide technical assistance to both organic and progressive conventional farmers to help build and maintain sustainable operations; educate diverse audiences about the significance and meaning of organic practices for food and the environment; and provide information and resources about current agricultural policy initiatives.
