> 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.
