Who is CT NOFA? 

CT NOFAIS ONE OF SEVEN 

state chapters of 

NOFA 

(Northeast Organic Farming Association). We are a 501c-3 

nonprofit organization with a thirteen member Board of 

Directors. Bill Duesing is our Executive Director and 

our office is run efficiently and effectively by Deb 

Legge. 

Our membership includes farmers, gardeners, 

land care professionals, consumers and businesses. 

What we all have in common is a belief that organic 

and sustainable methods in agriculture, land care and 

everyday living are the path that we need to be on to 

insure a healthier future for the planet, ourselves and our children. 

Throughout the year we offer a variety of programs and events that 

educate and entertain as well as spread the word on the importance 

of organics. Please see page 17 for a list of upcoming educational 

events. 

We also publicize and promote our farms and businesses and keep 

our membership informed about what’s happening in the organic 

community, locally and beyond, through our Guides, our website, 

and our monthly Gleanings eNewsletter. See page 47 or sign up for 

monthly eNewsletter at www.ctnofa.org. 

CT NOFA provides speakers and displays all over the state at all 

different types of events to a variety of audiences. To request a CT 

NOFA presentation or if you would like to volunteer in our 

outreach team, please call the office. 

In the legislative realm, we monitor happenings at the state and 

national level and act accordingly to protect local, organic and 

sustainable food production. Within the overall NOFA 

organization, we represent the membership of CT NOFA to insure 

your voices are heard. 

The strength of CT NOFA is our membership. Learn more about 

the membership benefits on page 56. We thank you for your 

commitment to organic and sustainable agriculture, organic land 

care and living a life that promotes healing the planet and making 

it a healthier and safer place for all of us.

you to have your farm or 

business included. Last year 

we distributed 12,000 copies 

of the Guide to consumers 

who are looking for organic, 

sustainable and local produce, 

products and services. 

To have a listing in the Guide, you 

or your farm or business must be

Certified Organic Farms, farms 

that have signed the Farmer’s 

Pledge, community farms, and 

businesses that support CT NOFA 

farms by buying or selling their 

produce/products. Each farm or 

business provides us with the 

information they would like 

included in the Guide. 

There is also the opportunity to 

advertise in the Guide. CT NOFA 

membership is not required for 

placing an advertisement, 

although lower rates are available

Using the Farm & Food Guide 

What is “Organic,” Anyway? 

Certified Organic 

Farms 

ACERTIFIED ORGANIC FARM is in compliance 

with the National Organic Program (NOP) 

standards, and has been inspected and 

certified by an accredited USDA certifying agent. 

Products have been grown/raised without the use 

of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, growth 

hormones, irradiation, or genetic engineering. The 

certification process is rigorous and requires 

extensive record keeping, payment of an annual fee, 

and an annual inspection. Additional information 

can be found at their site. 

The National Organic Program allows farmers who 

sell less than $5,000 worth of organic produce per 

year to call their produce “organic” if they follow 

the national standards. This produce is not 

certified. 

BECOMING CERTIFIED ORGANIC 

Baystate Organic Certifiers certifies many organic 

farms in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Visit their 

website, www.baystateorganic.org or call Don 

Franczyk at 774-872-5544 for more information. 

Farms marked with an asterisk * 

have signed the Farmer’s Pledge 

CT NOFA Farmer’s Pledge is a commitment 

to farming, marketing and farm 

management in accordance with sound 

ecological and economic principles. It is separate 

and distinct from “Certified Organic.” There is no 

inspection process for the Farmer’s Pledge, but the 

farmers have signed the Pledge to show their 

commitment to its principles. CT NOFA 

administers the Farmer’s Pledge program in 

Connecticut. However, we do not investigate or 

make any guarantee that the individual farmer is 

complying with the Farmer’s Pledge. 

Non-Certified 

Farms 

EVERY spring, all our Farmer’s Pledge farms 

are featured in our annual Farm & Food 

Guide. Last year 12,000 copies of the Guide 

were printed and distributed all over the state at 

farmers markets, agricultural and environmental 

events, and wherever people were looking for 

healthy and sustainably grown food. In addition 

the Guide is posted on our website, so your farm’s 

listing is available to everyone who visits 

www.ctnofa.org. It’s a great way to spread the word 

about your farm. 

All you have to do to be included in the program is 

to sign a copy of the Pledge and return it to CT 

NOFA. We’ll initial, date, laminate and return it to 

you. You are encouraged to display your copy of the 

Pledge at your farm, farm stand, farmers’ markets 

and anywhere else where folks care about good 

food. CT NOFA keeps a copy of the Pledge for our 

records. To participate you or your farm must be a 

CT NOFA member. The Farmer’s Pledge must be 

renewed each year, and CT NOFA will contact you 

each winter to get your Pledge updated. 

Supporting 

Businesses 

SUPPORTING businesses are restaurants, stores, 

caterers or other businesses that support CT 

NOFA member farms by selling products or 

offering services that benefit our members.

Farmer’s Pledge 5 

KNOWING your farmer is the best assurance that the food you buy is responsibly grown; grown with 

methods that recognize the inherent implications of the web of life in all our individual actions. 

CT NOFA (The Connecticut Northeast Organic Farming Association) believes that farmers 

should work in harmony with natural forces and leave the little piece of the world over which they have 

stewardship in better condition than when they found it. 

To further enable consumers to identify the farms they want to support with their food dollars, CT 

NOFA is using the Farmer’s Pledge, separate and distinct from USDA Certified Organic. Farmers and 

market gardeners who adhere to the following pledge have signed a copy which they display for 

customers and neighbors to view. This pledge is based on the integrity of the farmer/gardener. Those who 

sign this pledge agree that consumers may inspect, by appointment, their farm/garden to judge the 

truthfulness of this statement. CT NOFA does not investigate or make any guarantee that the individual 

farmer is complying with the Farmer’s Pledge. 

WE PLEDGE THAT IN OUR FARMING, PROCESSING, AND MARKETING WE WILL: 

Reject the use of synthetic 

insecticides, herbicides, 

fungicides & fertilizers 

Reject the use of GMO’s, 

chemically treated seeds, 

synthetic toxic materials, 

irradiation & sewage sludge 

Treat livestock humanely by 

providing pasture for ruminants, 

access to outdoors & fresh air for 

all livestock, banning cruel 

alterations, & using no hormones 

or antibiotics in feed 

Support agricultural markets & 

infrastructures that enable small 

farms to thrive 

Maintain & build healthy soils by 

farming practices that include 

rotating crops annually, using 

compost, cover crops, green 

manures & reducing tillage 

Conserve natural resources by 

reducing erosion & pollution of 

air, soil & water through 

responsible farming practices 

Maximize the nutritional value of 

food & feed by practicing careful 

post harvest handling 

Practice minimal processing for 

all food products to preserve the 

natural nutritional value of food: 

NO use of irradiation, ultrapasteurization, 

excessive heat, 

synthetic preservatives, or GMO 

processing agents or additives 

Reduce the ecological footprint of 

farms & homes by limiting 

energy use & converting to 

renewable sources of energy 

Reduce food miles by selling 

produce locally & regionally 

Create beneficial habitat for 

wildlife & encourage biodiversity 

Help preserve farmland & 

farming know-how 

Ensure food safety by using 

potable water for washing crops 

Handle raw manure & soil 

amendments with care 

Use ethical business practices 

Pay a living wage to all farm 

workers & acknowledge their 

freedom of association & their 

right to collective bargaining 

Treat family members & farm 

workers with respect & ensure 

their safety on the farm 

Work in cooperation with other 

farmers & with neighboring 

community to create a more 

sustainable way of life 

Sustain the land in healthy 

condition for future generations

16 Community Gardens 

COMMUNITY gardens are a 

wonderful way for people to grow 

some food while connecting to 

their community. Some gardens even 

provide enough produce that it can be sold 

at a market. 

There are hundreds of community gardens 

in Connecticut. Many with CT NOFA 

members involved. Gardens are 

everywhere: Greenwich, Warren, Norwich, 

Windham, Branford and maybe your town. 

The Connecticut Community Gardening 

Association (CCGA) is a nonprofit 

organization whose purpose is to provide 

a network of support and education for 

community gardens in Connecticut. 

CCGA provides information and 

assistance to new and to existing gardens 

and gardeners at www.ctcommunity

40 Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) in Connecticut 

COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE, commonly known as CSA, is a popular term among 

food conscious people. CSA programs directly link the consumer to the farmer. The 

middleman is eliminated. The consumer becomes a shareholder or subscriber and commits 

at the beginning of the growing season to purchase part of the farmer’s crops. 

Shareholders pay their membership fee up front, which helps cover production costs. The cost and 

size of the share is pre-determined by the farmer, generally by produce value or weight. Some CSAs 

offer half shares or working shares. A working share allows the shareholder to work on the farm for a 

discounted membership fee. 

There are many sensible reasons for joining a CSA. The benefits are not only for consumers and 

farmers, but are also experienced throughout the local community. 

• Generally, most CSA farmers follow 

sustainable farming practices, which is 

better for the environment and 

economy; 

• Membership in a CSA keeps your food 

dollars close to home; 

• The farmer has a guaranteed market for 

her produce and receives a fair income; 

• You have access to the freshest, highest 

quality, usually organic produce for your 

family; 

• You have greater diversity in your food 

choices – this means new taste 

experiences from a large variety of 

vegetables and herbs; 

• You will get greater nutritional value 

from food diversity; 

• You can develop a relationship with the 

farmer – ask questions, and even take a 

tour of the farm; 

• You can make going to the CSA farm 

a learning experience for your kids – 

teaching where and how our food 

is grown, and who’s doing all the work; 

• In addition to vegetables, some CSAs 

offer herbs, flowers, fruit, dairy 

products, maple syrup, local honey, eggs, 

and grass-fed meat. 

• Would you like to be part of the process? 

Look for the pick-your-own (PYO) crops 

option in a CSA.

What is a Community Farm? 

GENERALLY, it is a farm on public land or 

land owned by a nonprofit organization, 

guided by a non-profit board or a town 

commission toward a mission of service to the 

community. Food is often distributed through a 

Community Supported Agriculture program to 

local shareholders. Many community farms also 

provide food through local service organizations 

to people in need of fresh, healthy produce. In 

addition to food, the community farms may 

provide educational programs, a place for public 

events, walking trails, wildlife habitat, and 

preservation of historic farm buildings. 

Community Farms in Connecticut can be found 

in all stages of development, from long-established 

institutions like Holcomb Farm to newly formed 

non-profits trying to establish a farm. Contact the 

community farm in your area, find out what they 

are doing, and see how you can help. 

For a complete list of Community Farms, log onto 

www.ctnofa.org and see page 33.
