Where: Castaways
When: Sun. April 26th, 3 p.m. until 11 p.m.
What: benefit to support subsidized CSA shares for low-income families
in the Ithaca area
Who: Heehaw Nightmare, Evil City String Band, Pearls Basement, the
Talktome's, and Thousands of One
Suggested donation of $10. goes directly to farmers feeding local families!

Local music + local food + local farms = local fun!!
The support of the community has been instrumental in helping WIC and
Food Stamp eligible families access the abundance of fresh foods being
grown by our neighboring farms in our neighboring fields. This year more
families are having difficulty accessing fresh foods and our local
farmers are ready to help. Please join us in our goal to provide 100+
subsidized shares!
The participating farms are:
Full Plate Farm Collective, Early Moring Organic Farm, Westhaven, Three
Sisters, Sweetland Farm, and Kestrel Perch Berry Farm
If you can't make it but still would like to support the Healthy Food
for All program you can make a check payable to Local Foods Network and
mail it to: CCE Tompkins, Attn: Liz Karabinakis, 615 Willow Ave, Ithaca
NY 14850. The cost to subsidize one share for a family for the entire
2009 growing season is $250, but donations of any size are greatly
appreciated. Every bit helps!!!
