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.

FAIR FOOD

is dedicated to bringing healthy, local food to the Philadelphia marketplace, and supporting a humane, sustainable agriculture system for the region. Fair Food was founded in 2000 to connect local farms with wholesale customers and, since that time, has helped hundreds of regional producers grow their business value by providing support in the areas of marketing and sales, and increasing farmers knowledge, familiarity and access to markets. fairfoodphilly.org

PASA

With more than 6,000 members, the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture (PASA) is one of the oldest and largest sustainable agriculture organizations in the U.S. Through business and marketing support for farmers, public advocacy and consumer education, PASA seeks to promote profitable farms that produce healthy food for all people while respecting the natural environment. pasafarming.org
