Welcome To Our Guide! CT NOFA (Northeast Organic Farming Association of Connecticut), is the first and leading grassroots association advocating for organic food, farming, gardening and land care in Connecticut, connecting people in the sustainable local food and land care movements with organic resources and education. CT NOFA was founded in 1982 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and is one of seven state chapters of the Northeast Organic Farming Association. We are proud to present the 2014-2015 edition of our annual CT NOFA Farm & Food Guide, the most comprehensive resource for finding sustainably grown food in Connecticut. It connects you to the bounty of fresh, healthy and tasty food produced by CT NOFA’s member farms who are USDA Certified Organic or CT NOFA Farmer’s Pledge or both. It also connects you to CT NOFA Business Members who are supportive of sustainable agriculture. Take this Guide with you when you shop! We encourage you to support the farms and businesses that are listed or advertised in the Guide. Let them know how important organic and sustainable agriculture is to you by giving them your business. Together we can effect positive change in our food system with the food choices we make! The benefits of local and organic food for human and environmental health are more important than ever. For 32 years the strength of CT NOFA has been our members, our donors, sponsors and volunteers. Our community includes all kinds of people - consumers, activists, businesses, farmers, gardeners, land care professionals and more! What we all have in common is a belief that using organic and sustainable
Q A
methods in agriculture, land care and everyday living is the path that will ensure a healthier future for the planet. Agriculture in Connecticut is growing, which bodes well for our local food system and the availability of good food. According to the recently released findings of the 2012 USDA Census of Agriculture there are over 1,000 new farms and 30,000 more acres being farmed in CT in 2012 vs. 2007, bucking national trends that show decreasing farms and land in agriculture. The numbers of Farmers Markets listed in the county pages of our Guide, where many of our member farms sell their product, reflects the energy of our local food movement. Throughout the year we offer educational workshops, conferences and courses focused on the importance of organic practices, and how to implement them in gardening, landscaping and farming. We get involved in policy on the local and national levels regarding such things as GMO labeling, pesticide-free school grounds, food safety and more. And we have fun events that introduce people first hand to the joys of sustainable living. Welcome to our CT NOFA family and living a life that safeguards our planet and makes it a healthier place for ourselves, our children, and our children’s children. We hope to see you soon!

Know Your Food We often hear from people who want to make good food choices when they shop and are confused about organic, local and other food labels. Here are the questions we get and our answers. We hope to make your good food shopping easier! Q. Who can tell me what organic means?
A. The use of the word organic and its meaning are controlled by the USDA and its National Organic Program (NOP). USDA Certified Organic is a labeling term for marketing purposes to inform consumers. The USDA organic seal means that the product is produced in accordance with the National Organic Standards (ams.usda.gov).
Q. What is CT NOFA’s role in the USDA National Organic Program?
A. The USDA organic standards and certification process grew out of nearly two decades of state certification programs created by NOFA chapters, including CT NOFA, and sister organizations throughout the country. Since the USDA took control of the word organic in 2002, NOFA chapters and our partners have been working to uphold and strengthen the standards.
Q. Why should I eat organic?
A. Choosing certified organic food has many positive effects. According to the USDA, “The primary goal of organic agriculture is to optimize the health and productivity of interdependent communities of soil life, plants, animals and people.” Many people want to eat organic foods to protect their health. They want to vote with their dollars for more organic farming and the environmental and social benefits it brings. This is what you and your family, our farm workers and our environment get with USDA Certified Organic: No genetically-engineered seeds No GMOs in animal feed No genetically-engineered ingredients No chemical fertilizers No synthetic pesticides No antibiotics or hormones No sewage sludge No irradiation
Q. W hat do Genetically Engineered and GMO mean?
A. Genetic engineering is a radical new technology that forces genetic information across the protective species barrier in an unnatural way. GMOs or genetically modified organisms are plants or animals that have been genetically engineered with DNA from bacteria, viruses or other plants and animals in an attempt to introduce a new trait or characteristic. These 4
2014-2015 Farm & Food Guide
experimental combinations of genes from different species cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding. Genetic engineering differs profoundly from conventional seed selection and breeding, which has been going on since the beginning of agriculture. Even hybridization, which is relatively new, achieves expression of genetic material already present within a species, not by inserting foreign genetic material in an unnatural way. Hybridization uses processes that occur in nature, such as sexual and asexual reproduction, and employs the genetic potential of the species.
Q. Are GMOs bad for my health, and the health of my children and grandchildren?
A. Virtually all commercial GMOs are engineered to withstand direct application of herbicide and some are created to also produce their own insecticide. A growing body of evidence connects GMOs with health problems, environmental damage and violation of farmers’ and consumers’ rights.
Q. How can I avoid GMOs?
A. GMOs can be in the foods you eat first hand, and also in the feed given to animals you eat. Certified Organic means no GMOs, among many other things. Products that bear the Non-GMO Project Verified label (nongmoproject.org) do not have GMOs in them. Some, but not all, Non-GMO Project Verified foods are also certified organic.
Q. How else does organic shape the communities and environment our children and grandchildren will live in? A. A foundation of healthy soils and ecosystems is what makes organic systems successful, and adds to their importance. As the USDA states: “Organic agriculture is an ecological production management system that promotes and enhances biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activity. It is based on minimal use of off-farm inputs and on management practices that restore, maintain and enhance ecological harmony.”
Q. Which farmers can use the word organic?
A. A beginning or small-scale farmer selling less than $5,000 worth of product a year can call the vegetables, meat or eggs at a roadside or market stand organic if s/he follows the USDA’s Organic Standards. In all other cases agricultural products sold as organic need to be certified by an accredited certifying agency. Baystate Organic Certifiers (baystateorganic.org) certifies most of the farms in Connecticut.
Q. Why should farmers with more than $5,000 in sales a year become certified organic?
A. It is important to have as many farms as possible, especially small farms, be Certified Organic in order to be counted and have a voice in the upholding of the National Organic Standards. The more Certified Organic farms there are, the more resources, research and support organic farmers and systems will receive. You can feel good about suggesting that farmers get certified in order to keep building and sustaining the organic movement.
Q. What is involved with certification?
A. We often hear farmers say that certification requires too much paperwork or costs too much money. However, many certified organic farmers say the required Organic Farm Plan, the heart of certification, is a very useful tool in organizing and running a farm. Many organizations provide free templates and online tools for developing this plan (attra.ncat.org/organic.html and rodaleinstitute.org/farm/organic-system-plan). For many certified growers, three quarters of the cost of certification is reimbursed through a Farm Bill authorized organic cost share program administered here by the Connecticut Department of Agriculture (ct.gov/doag).
Q. Who besides farmers can use the word organic?
A. You can say you have an organic home garden and your community can say it has an organic community garden because these are descriptions, not marketing claims. Your town can say it has adopted the NOFA Standards for Organic Land Care to govern the way its parks, greens and school grounds are managed because it is referring to a standard of service, not marketing a product.
Q. What other labels are there related to agricultural practices?
A. Other labels such as Certified Naturally Grown (naturallygrown.org) and CT NOFA’s Farmer’s Pledge indicate that the farmer abides by standards similar to those for organic. These labels may provide enough information in a face to face sale, but the farms cannot be considered certified organic. Therefore, these labels can mask the real growth in organic production, in the number of farmers using organic methods and in the demand for organic, as these farms are not counted as organic by the USDA. Local and Organic Since 1982
Q. What does 100% Grass Fed mean?
A. 100% Grass Fed means just that, and the animals will not have eaten GMO feed. Other grass fed animals eating less than 100% grass, whose meat is not certified organic, will likely have eaten GMO feed.
Q. What does Natural mean?
A. Natural means nothing because it hasn’t been defined in the U.S. except for meat, poultry or eggs, where it means no artificial colors or flavors, synthetic ingredients or chemical preservatives. It does not mean non-GMO — you should assume that all animals have eaten GMO feed, unless they are USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO Verified, 100% Grass Fed, Farmer’s Pledge or Certified Naturally Grown.
Q. What about packaged goods labeled Natural?
A. In this case Natural means nothing at all and you should assume these foods contain GMOs unless labeled otherwise, if they contain corn, canola, soy, cottonseed and sugar from sugar beets.
Q. Am I safe if I’m eating cage-free or free-range chickens or eggs, and meat from animals raised humanely with access to the outdoors?
A. Unless what you’re eating is also USDA Certified Organic, or has other trusted designations, what these labels say about meat, poultry and eggs means at most just what they say and no more. We say at most, because some of these labels are not defined or regulated by the USDA. There are Certified Humane and other labels you can read about online. They don’t necessarily require organic or non-GMO feed. Read carefully!
Q. What does Local mean?
A. Local can vary in terms of the number of miles your food has traveled to your plate. The more local the organic farms are that you buy from, the more benefits there are to our communities, to the nutritional value of your food, and to the environment. Local also gives you the opportunity to know your farmer, visit the farm and to truly know your food. The Connecticut Department of Agriculture (ct.gov/doag) and buyctgrown.com are currently working to strengthen the Connecticut Grown label so that consumers look for and buy local Connecticut food whenever possible.
www.ctgrown.gov
Q. What is the new Food Justice Certified label?
A. It is a label based on high-bar social justice standards for farms, processors and retailers, including every link in the food chain from seed to table. NOFA was a founder of the Agricultural Justice Project (agriculturaljusticeproject.org) which created and administers this label. This certification may be combined with local sourcing and organic certification for those who want Local, Organic and Fair food. Happy Shopping and Bon Appetit!

What is the Farmer’s Pledge? Knowing your farmer is the best assurance that the food you buy is responsibly grown with methods that honor the web of life by farmers who work in harmony with nature and leave the little piece of the world they steward in better condition than when they found it. To further enable consumers to identify farms they want to support with their food dollars, CT NOFA uses the Farmer’s Pledge, a separate and distinct program from USDA Certified Organic. This Pledge is based on the integrity of the farmer and is signed annually. The Pledge can be taken by both Certified Organic growers and non-certified growers using agro-ecological systems and documents sustainable practices they attest is an accurate description of how they farm. It serves as a way for consumers to better know their farmers and their agricultural, social justice and economic practices.
Farmers who sign this Pledge agree that customers may visit the farm by appointment. CT NOFA does not investigate or guarantee farmer compliance with the Farmer’s Pledge. If a customer visits a farm and believes a farmer is not honoring the Pledge, the customer can give written notice to the Executive Director of CT NOFA. Although taking this Pledge does not entitle a farmer to represent their products as organic, many taking the Pledge are also Certified Organic. Furthermore, CT NOFA believes that Certified Organic farmers and farmers that are Farmer’s Pledge only have far more in common than they have differences. Look for the 2014 CT NOFA Farmer’s Pledge when you shop. In the county pages of this Guide look for the Farmer’s Pledge symbol for Farmer’s Pledge farms, and the USDA organic seal for certified farms. Farmer’s Pledge

Why Local? A vibrant local food system builds our health, the health of our planet and the health of our communities! • Higher nutritional value of foods traveling much shorter distances from field to plate • Supports Connecticut's multi-generational family farms • Keeps land in agriculture • Encourages the growth in small and beginning farmers • Keeps money in the local economy - Connecticut agriculture contributes between $2.72 and $4.6 BILLION to the state economy each year* • Protects and creates jobs - Connecticut agriculture employs about 28,000 people each year* • Brings people together on farms and at farmers markets
• Involves community members in farm operations with CSA shares in the harvest, volunteer opportunities and more • Gives people the opportunity to know their farmers and know their food • Shorter distances from field to plate reduce carbon emissions • Local sustainable agriculture helps hold carbon in the soil • Ensures food supply in face of major threats to our industrial food system * From First Annual Report: December 2012, Grow Connecticut Farms: Developing, Diversifying, and Promoting Agriculture
The Next Generation Of Farmers Farmers are getting older! In the United States, the average age of farmers is 58, up from 57 in 2007. At the same time, the demand for local, sustainable food is growing rapidly and far exceeds the supply. This demand will quickly become a necessity, not merely a choice, as our industrial food system becomes ever more fragile. Just one example of a key issue facing us right now is the drought in California where more than 50% of U.S. grown fruits, vegetables and nuts are grown, putting our current food system dangerously at risk. As the need for the next generation of farmers has become greater, CT NOFA has increasingly responded by running several important programs. New and Beginning Farmers face many legal, financial and environmental challenges, along with gaps in farmer education and knowledge. We are fortunate to have private donors interested in funding our Beginning Farmer programs, as well as the USDA. If you are interested in supporting our Beginning Farmers programs please contact us at ctnofa@ctnofa.org or 203-308-2584. CT NOFA has partnered with the NOFA chapters of New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New Jersey and the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association in the three-year program Cultivating the Next Crop of Northeast Organic Farmers from Apprenticeship to Independence. CT NOFA supports farmers with less than ten years of farming experience with: • On-farm technical workshops • A Beginning Farmer track at our Winter Conference • An online apprentice-farmer linking program • Journeyperson program supporting beginning farmers in their first years of independent farming • Beginning farmer-mentor matching programs 8
2014-2015 Farm & Food Guide
This multi-state program is funded by the National Institute for Food and Agriculture through the USDA Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program (Grant # 2011-00974-A). Another CT NOFA program funded by the National Institute for Food and Agriculture through the USDA Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program is the Beginning Women Farmer Training Program (BWF). For the past five years, CT NOFA has partnered with Holistic Management International (HMI) to implement the BWF Program The ten Saturday sessions cover the topics of Holistic Goal and Testing, Financial Planning, Marketing, Land Planning, Leadership & Communication and more. The fifteen to twenty women participating every year often say the best part of the program is the amazing network of women with all the various backgrounds, talents and farming experiences. For the final year of this grant-funded program, we will be accepting applications in the late summer/early fall of 2014. In addition to the above programs CT NOFA runs the highly attended Getting Started in Organic Farming Conference, publishes the Farmer eNews and a pamphlet of educational resources, and works in collaboration with other agricultural organizations and farms throughout the state to run programs in support of the next generation of farmers. If you are a New or Beginning Farmer and are interested in any of these programs, please visit ctnofa.org or contact us at ctnofa@ctnofa.org or 203-308-2584.
