We might still have snow on the ground, but it’s time to remember the wonderful summer flavor of fresh, local produce!
Join us on Saturday March 2nd for the
“Meet Your Farmer and Fishermen: Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Fair” in Bangor
sponsored by Food AND Medicine and the Maine Organic Farmers and Growers Association
What: 10 local farmers will showcase their farms, their particular CSA models, and some of the delicious foods their CSAs will offer – from vegetables and flowers to meat, cheese and more!
CSAs allow consumers to sign up in the spring to receive a weekly share of fresh food from a local farmer throughout the summer, and farmers are paid when they need the money the most – at the beginning of the season. CSAs build a direct relationship between you and your farmer!
When: Saturday March 2nd from 2-5pm
Where: Hammond Street Congregational Church, 28 High Street in Bangor
Who: Anyone who is interested in learning more about CSAs and wants to eat delicious food and support a local farmer this growing season! This event is free and open to the public
