Community Supported Agriculture Fair
Saturday, 3/30, 1-4 pm

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County will host a Community 
Supported Agriculture (CSA) Fair on Saturday, 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 
agriculture-related activities for children of all ages. 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 
Debbie Teeter or Liz Karabinakis at 272-2292.
