"After eating my first tomato from my share, fresh off the vine and still warm from the sun, I knew I couldn't go another summer without a CSA"
Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County will host a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Fair on Sunday, March 30th from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Education Center, 615 Willow Avenue in Ithaca. CSA provides consumers with a weekly selection of just-harvested food and farmers with an established market prior to the production season. But there are differences between CSA programs such as share size, products offered, pick-up locations, u-pick options and on-farm work opportunities. Come learn more about the many benefits of CSA, meet and talk with farmers from 8 to 10 different CSA farms serving the Ithaca area, and find out which CSA program might be perfect for you. There will also be fun, hands-on agricultural-related activities offered for children of all ages. CSA programs fill up quickly so dont miss out this season. The CSA Fair is free and open to the public. For more information, call Debbie Teeter or Liz Karabinakis at 272-2292. Eat Local. Taste the Difference. -- Elizabeth Viviana Karabinakis Community Food Educator Cornell Cooperative Extension Tompkins County [EMAIL PROTECTED] (607) 272-2292 x190 _______________________________________________ RSS, archives, subscription & listserv information for: [email protected] http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/listinfo/sustainabletompkins free hosting by http://www.mutualaid.org
