3/15; Community Supported Agriculture Fair ITHACA, NY Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County will host a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Fair on Sunday, March 15th from 1 to 4 p.m. at Boynton Middle School, 1601 North Cayuga Street in Ithaca. CSA provides consumers with a weekly selection of just-harvested food grown for them and an opportunity to directly support a local farm operation. But there are differences between CSA programs available such as share size, products offered, pick-up locations, u-pick options and on-farm work and social opportunities. Come learn more about the many benefits of CSA, meet and talk with farmers from 10 different CSA farms serving Ithaca and surrounding towns, and find out which CSA program might be perfect for you. There will also be fun, hands-on agricultural-related activities offered for children of all ages. CSA programs fill up quickly so dont miss out this season. The CSA Fair is free and open to the public. For more information, call Debbie Teeter or Liz Karabinakis at 607-272-2292. Cornell Cooperative Extension provides equal program and employment opportunities. _______________________________________________ For more information about sustainability in the Tompkins County area, please visit: http://www.sustainabletompkins.org/
