Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Fair
Saturday, March 2, 12:00-3:00 pm,
atBoynton Middle School,
1601 North Cayuga Street, Ithaca FREE! What is Community Supported Agriculture and how can you find a share that will meet your needs? CSA is a partnership between consumers and farmers that
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 25+ farmers, and find out which CSA program might be perfect for you!
In addition to the traditional vegetable CSA, attendees will find fruits, baked goods, meat, eggs, cheese, cider, herbs and herbal products, and even fiber CSAs. All participants will be
entered in a drawing for a variety of door prizes donated by the farms, and those looking to sign up can do so on the spot! There will be quiet activities to occupy children while adults circulate, and table space to sit and review material you gather. CSA
programs fill up quickly so don’t miss out this season. The CSA Fair is free and open to the public. For more information, call Avi Miner at CCE-Tompkins, 607-272-2292 or email
