Philly Farm & Food Fest: My Locavore Fantasy is Happening Sun 4/1!

My Locavore dream has come true.

All things local are coming to the Philly Farm & Food Fest this Sunday, April 1st from 11 AM – 4 PM at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.  The collaboration between Fair Food & PASA (Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture) will surely fill my locavore heart’s delight with over 100 local food vendors, artisanal producers and farmers.  Want to sign up for a CSA? You can do that on Sunday as well!

You’ll find deliciousness ranging from local cheeses, honey, jams, meats, ice creams, flour, baked goods, and more.  Beyond the food, you can get educated with family-oriented workshops on topics including planting, beekeeping, land use farming & guided cheese tastings.

Are you STILL unsure about attending? Just check out the exhibitor map with everyone from Philadelphia Cowshare, Kimberton Whole Foods, Market Day Canele, Greensgrow Farms to Culton Organics.  We can’t wait for April Fools Day! (And no, this isn’t a April 1st prank.)

Get your Philly Farm & Food Fest tickets starting at $10 (Groups of 15/more in advance) or $15 for individuals until Friday, March 30th @ midnight.  Individual tickets are $20 at door with kids under 12 FREE.  The Buyer’s Reception for chefs, caterers & food service providers start at $25 – $35. The Buyer’s Reception (4:30-6:30 PM) includes all-day admission to the Fest.
