COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE (CSA) FAIR
Saturday, March 5, 12:00-3:00pm 
Boynton Middle School, 1601 North Cayuga Street (at Rt. 13),
Ithaca

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County will host a
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Fair on
Saturday, March 5th from 12:00
to 3:00 p.m. in the Boynton Middle School Cafeteria, 1601 North Cayuga
Street in Ithaca. More than 15 farms serving the Tompkins County area are
expected to be on hand to talk with consumers about their farms and CSA
programs. In addition to the traditional vegetable CSA, attendees will
find meat, fruit, herb, baked goods, and even a granola CSA
option.

CSA provides members with a weekly selection of just-harvested food and
farmers with an established market prior to the growing season. There are
differences between CSA programs such as share size, products offered,
pick-up locations, u-pick options and on-farm work opportunities. Attend
the CSA Fair to learn about the many benefits of CSA, meet and talk with
farmers, and find out which CSA program might be perfect for you. There
will be quiet activities to occupy children while parents circulate and
table space to sit and review material you gather. CSA programs fill up
quickly so don't miss out this season! 

Admission to the CSA Fair is FREE and open to the public. For more
information, call Debbie Teeter or Liz Karabinakis at CCE-Tompkins,
607-272-2292.
