2014 CSA Fair

CSA Fair

The CSA Fair was a free annual event held at Boynton Middle School from 2009 to 2017, to introduce consumers to the concept of Community Supported Agriculture and to create an opportunity for them to meet and speak with a variety of CSA Farmers in our area about their programs 

In, CSA farmers told us that the fair had served its purpose and was no longer needed; they participated because they felt they should be present if the event was to be offered, but that local knowledge and interest in CSA had grown sufficiently for them to recruit enough participants each year, hence CCE-Tompkins stopped coordinating this event.

For more information on how CSA works and an updated list of local farms offering CSA programs, please visit: http://ccetompkins.org/agriculture/buy-local/csa-directory .
