The Urban Farmer-to-Farmer Summit (TUFFS) 2026
February 4, 2026
2:30 pm - 5:00 pm
New York, NY
Join us for the 6th annual TUFFS! Every winter since 2021, the NYC urban farm community comes together for an afternoon of conversations and show-and-tell, an opportunity to see what other urban farmers have been working on, to ask questions, and to share what went well for you this year (and what didn't). It's also the biggest NYC CRAFT event of the year, a veritable who's-who of the city's urban farm scene, and a great place to connect with the only other people who really understand what it's like to farm in New York City.
This year's TUFFS is at Pace University, including a tour of the campus' farm project.
