efore the first strawberries blush from green to luscious red . Before

the first chicks hatch in the sweet spring sun. Before the first grapes swell on the vine. Before the rich abundance of summer, the hearty harvest of fall, and the cozy quiet of another winter: you need a plan. Your hosts, Fair Food and the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture (PASA), invite you to make one at the fourth-annual Philly Farm and Food Fest, where more than 150 local producers and purveyors come together for one day only and help you prepare for a whole year’s worth of local eating. Bring the kids. Choose a CSA. Ready your garden for growing season. Invest in a beautiful cookbook. Join us—and make a plan.
