NOFA-NY (Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York) and Fishkill Farms are teaming up to host Farm Fest ’25!

What is NOFA-NY?

NOFA-NY is an organization of farmers, gardeners, and consumers working together to create a sustainable regional food system that’s ecologically sound, socially just, and economically viable. Through demonstration and education, they promote land stewardship, organic food production, and local marketing. They bring consumer and farmer together to make high-quality food available to all people.

Since 1983, NOFA-NY has been serving the organic and sustainable food and farming community. A year later, they became the first organic certifier in New York State. With the arrival of National Organic Standards in 2002, NOFA-NY established separate certification and education functions and offices, while maintaining a cohesive strategy to support the organic farming community. Today, they are New York State’s leading organization providing effective programs and services that promote sustainable, local, organic food and farming. NOFA-NY is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors elected by their membership. NOFA-NY is one of seven northeastern state organizations that work together under the umbrella of the Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA) ‒ the oldest grassroots organic farming organization in the country!

Farm Fest is dedicated to celebrating local communities while advocating for a sustainable regional food system that’s ecologically sound, socially just, and economically viable. Join us for a fun day on the farm to learn from a variety of organic farmers and advocates by educational talks and demonstrations, as well as visiting the vendors, farm store, cider bar, and more!
