> Tompkins County, NY – Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins  
> County will host a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Fair on  
> Saturday, March 2nd from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m. in the Boynton Middle  
> School Cafeteria, 1601 North Cayuga Street in Ithaca. Over 25 CSA  
> farmers serving Tompkins, Seneca, Cayuga, Tioga, Chemung, Chenango,  
> Yates, and Schuyler counties will be on hand to talk with consumers  
> about their farms and CSA programs. In addition to the traditional  
> vegetable CSA, attendees will find fruits, baked goods, meat, eggs,  
> cheese, wine, herbs and herbal products, and even fiber.  All  
> participants will be entered in a drawing for a variety of door  
> prizes donated by the farms.
> 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.
> The CSA Fair is free and open to the public. For more information,  
> call Avi Miner at CCE-Tompkins, 607-272-2292 or
