The New Connecticut Farmer Alliance is a statewide network of farmers and growers that bring young, new, and emerging farmers together to identify and help develop support systems to nurture a successful and diverse agricultural landscape for the state. The alliance offers farm tours, casual social networking events, volunteer-led workshops, and more to help a new generation of Connecticut farmers learn how to make their farm sustainable, ecologically sound, and economically viable. As of last year, the USDA-NIFA awarded a grant of nearly $600,000 to UConn Extension along with multiple other agricultural service providers and learning centers, NCTFA included. With this grant, the alliance has had the opportunity to spearhead biennial events called “Build Your Network, Grow Our Future”; which brings together a full day of networking and learning, between service providers and educators, with Connecticut’s community of new farmers.
