Sorry, I posted this for a colleague and didn't check it myself the
calendar before doing so. Sunday is the correct day.
Community Supported Agriculture Fair
Sunday, 3/30, 1-4 pm
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
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
272-2292.
