Lauren Young, Office Manager Welcome We titled our 2016 annual report “Organic Matters” in recognition of our efforts to elevate the critical connection between healthy soil and healthy crops. Thank you for joining us on this mission, for raising iyour voice to "Keep the Soil in Organic"j at the Rally in the Valley in October, and participating in our Winter Conference on "Our Soil, Our Health" in February.

This report outlines the impact of our collective work in 2016 around three strategic areas: 1) Growing the Demand for Organic Food, 2) Growing the Supply of Organic Food, and 3) Raising Our Voice. Since 1971, NOFA-VT has worked to grow a robust local and organic farm and food movement in Vermont. Through achievements like increasing the number of schools with access to local and organic food for Vermont’s schoolchildren (growing the demand), the number of farm visits made to provide business and production support to organic farmers (growing the supply), and our work to Keep the Soil in Organic (raising our voice)...you are helping us nurture this movement.

As a membership association, our job is to elevate your voice and the voices of all of our members – whether you are a commercial farmer, gardener or homesteader. We are all eaters and we are all part of NOFA Nation, as I like to think of it, working together to build healthier soils, raise healthier animals, and provide food for all, regardless of income.

Thank you for being an important part of NOFA-VT, and for your contribution to our work, on many levels!

Enid Wonnacott Executive Director, NOFA Vermont

I joined the NOFA-VT board because I support all that NOFA does, and because the farm to school programs and food access programs are instrumental to my farm. NOFA-VT is at the forefront of the organic movement in the northeast and has put Vermont on the map in being a leader in organic agriculture. This helps our farm business because people know more about the benefits of organic food.
