New Features on the NOFA Web Site!
As we continue to grow and expand our website, we will give you updates. The newest additions are features in the “Tool Barn”. Under the Tool Barn, you will find Find a Farm and also Submit a Farm functions. Under “Find a Farm” you will be able to search for farms, farm markets, CSA’s and specific products either by county or by distance from your home. However, you will only be able to search the farms that are entered into our database, so please either enter your farm or invite your favorite farms/farmers to enter their information.
Also, now operational, is our “Classified” function. Here you can post information in regards to Land Wanted if you are looking for a place to farm; Farm Land Available, if you have land that needs an organic or small scale farmer; Internships, if you have an internship available or if you are looking for one; Farm Jobs, Equipment and Supplies, and any other subject.
Solar Energy Workshop, April 1, 2010
Have you ever considered running your farm or garden operations with solar electric power? The economics for installing solar may never be better. NOFA-NJ has partnered with Jordan Energy & Food Enterprises, to offer member benefits including a discount on solar installations through Jordan Energy. To help explain the specifics, we are offering a Solar Workshop at Genesis Farm, where the renowned Community Supported Garden has had solar electric power at their distribution center for several years.
Bill Jordan, President of Jordan Energy & Food Enterprises, will present on the economics of installing solar and explain specific USDA grants that can cover up to 25% of the installation costs. The session will also include a nuts and bolts explanation of how Solar Renewable Energy Credits in New Jersey have moved solar from saving you money on your electricity bills to actually making you money for producing and using clean energy. Come to Genesis Farm in Blairstown on Thursday April 1st to learn more.
Cost is $10 for NOFA-NJ members, $15 for non-members. Click here to register and pay, or RSVP to Connie Deetz, NOFA-NJ, cdeetz@nofanj.org or 908-371-1111, Ext 4.
