> 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 at CCE-Tompkins, 607-272-2292 or
