So, What Now? A NOFA-VT Member Meeting

We’re living in challenging times. Still, we, as NOFA-VT members, are collectively holding a vision of a verdant, just, and delicious future for all living beings. To get there, despite the chaos we’re surrounded by, we need each other more than ever. Let’s grow our community strength and chart powerful ways forward, doing more together than we can do alone.

Over the past month at other member meetings, NOFA-VT has been building a shared analysis of what’s most imminently at stake —key investments in organic farming are at risk, threatening not only our public investment in healthy ecosystems but also our farmers and the webs of communities who depend on them. Many members are also vulnerable to the looming trade war. Our livelihoods are on the line. And we’re at risk of normalizing economic violence and threats to sovereignty.

These meetings are a space to support the development of collective actions rooted in hope, solidarity, and interconnectedness over a delicious potluck meal. At this meeting, you'll have time to eat together, share information and ideas, and create a shared strategy for answering the question: “What now?” you’ll also be working on some fun, artistic materials for an upcoming action that farmer members are leading: come help us get ready!
