CSA Fair
Find Your Farmer at ASAP's CSA Fair on March 29, 2012 from 3-6 pm!
CSA subscribers receive a weekly box of fresh, locally grown produce or meats throughout the growing season. ASAP's CSA Fair is an opportunity for you to meet farmers face-to-face and learn more about their CSA programs and products. You can sign up to learn more from farmers, or bring your checkbook if you might be ready to subscribe! Groups from workplaces and congregations are also encouraged to come and meet the farmers, as many farms will deliver direct to these locations if numbers allow. Farms participating all have pickup locations in the Asheville area.
This is a FREE event and open to the public.
JUST ADDED: There will also be a cooking demo and a children’s activity table! Activities include a scavenger hunt and seed tape making!
