Come support local agriculture at the Long Island CSA Fair! (Community Supported Agriculture) Find the program that’s right for you!
The time to sign up for a share in a Community Supported Agricultural program is now, and you can do it at the Long Island CSA Fair on Saturday, March 9th!
Over 15 farms from across Long Island will be participating. This will be a great opportunity to meet the farmer, and to learn more about each individual CSA program, allowing you, the consumer, to choose the perfect program for your family’s needs. Some programs offer just produce, while others have “add on” options like fruit, flowers, cheese, bread, eggs, meat and fish. Community Supported Agriculture supports local farmers by purchasing a weekly share of the harvest and paying up front, giving the farmer the financial support at the beginning of the season when they need it. Some programs offer payment plans so you do not need to pay all up front. Either way, CSA’s are one of the best ways to get fresh organic produce at fair prices! Supporting local, sustainable agriculture, is great for your health, the planet, and our local economy.
The CSA fair will be hosted indoors, at the Sisters of St. Joseph Farm, 1725 Brentwood Road, in Building #2, Brentwood, Long Island, from 11:00am – 3:00pm on Saturday, March 9th , The fair is free and open to all who are interested. You can come for a few minutes, or stay for the whole time!
There will be cooking demonstrations throughout the day, and delicious vegan, vegetarian and gluten free foods will be available for purchase.
The Unique Knife Sharpening Truck will be there, so bring your knives to be sharpened!
