Philly Farm & Food Fest: Eat Local, Philly!

03/26/2012 by Robin Elton

philly farm and food festI’m wicked excited about this event! The Philly Farm & Food Fest promises to be an inspiration to buying local all year round, but I’m hoping to find local sources of flour so I can really take my summer eat local challenges one step further. I also love getting to know the people behind the local companies that I support.

When:

Sunday, April 1st from 11am -4pm (exclusive wholesale buyers’ reception from 4:30-6pm)

Where:

Pennsylvania Convention Center Annex Hall G

What:

This kid-friendly inaugural event is a collaboration between Fair Food and PASA (Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture) and features:

  • over 100 local farmers, food producers, artisanal food businesses and other providers of sustainable goods and services from across our region: check out the full list of exhibitors here.
  • samples and sales of locally made products like “zip code” honey, cheeses, cured meats, jams, small batch ice creams, organic flour, baked goods
  • workshops on seed saving, hands-on seed planting skills, the ABCs of beekeeping, a guided tasting to artisan cheeses, and a healthy foods scavenger hunt for kids

Why:

It’s so important to know where your food comes from, and to support local businesses (keeping dollars in our area). An event like this not only helps you recognize and support local farmers and producers, but introduces you to the people behind the businesses. Remember when businesses meant people you could trust? Plus, a great opportunity to educate the kids about how food gets from farm to table.

Tickets:

General admission tickets are $15 in advance for adults or $20 at the door, children 12 and under are free. Group discounts are available for advance purchase only on the website; group of 15 or more pays only $10 per ticket.

Find out about local CSAs and farmers markets, and bring your reusable bags for shopping!
