It’s time for NOFA’s Spring Bulk Order
Farmers, gardeners and landscapers can save money and support the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Rhode Island (NOFA/RI) though our 2014 Spring Bulk Order. We take orders for cover crop seed, fertilizers, mineral amendments, compost, potting soil, potato and allium seed from January 1 through January 31.Each year, NOFA organizes a bulk order with popular suppliers for distribution at sites in Cranston, RI, western, central and eastern MA and central CT. Farmers, gardeners and landscapers realize significant savings through group purchasing power and collective shipping, while helping NOFA support organic practices throughout the Tri-State region. The order is open to NOFA members and non-members. There is no minimum or maximum order.
NOFA recommends farmers and gardeners start planning now. Get a soil test and request recommendations. Learn more about soil tests here. The 2014 Bulk Order will only be available through January 31. Get your 2014 order form here.
