A collaboration between Fair Food and PASA (Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture), the first-ever Philly Farm & Food Fest will open Sunday, April 1 at the Convention Center.

The celebration of local food features more than 100 regional farmers, food producers, artisanal food businesses and other providers of sustainable goods and services from across the entire region.

Exhibitors will be sampling locally made products including honey, cheeses, cured meats, jams, small batch ice creams, organic flour, baked goods and more.

Kid-friendly workshops like “Do Carrots Really Grow in Dirt?” and the “ABC’s of Beekeeping,” plus adult-friendly sessions like “Guided Tasting of Artisan Cheeses,” will supplement the festival’s programming.

The take-away is that “local food” means much, much more than fruits and vegetables. It means a vast array of delicious and diverse products (see above).

General admission tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door; children 12 and under are free. Group discounts are available for advance purchase online.
