This year’s CSA Fair will be held from 5 to 7:30 p.m. on March 2nd at Lincoln Square Mall/Common Ground Food Co-op. The event is sponsored by The Land Connection, Common Ground, and Urbana’s Market at the Square/City of Urbana, and will take place during Imbibe Urbana’s First Fridays.
The fair is an opportunity for you to meet local farmers and sign up for community supported agriculture (CSA). CSA options include produce, of course, but also meat, cheese, and flowers.
Last year my CSA produce offered some of the best bites I had in 2017. If you’re around during the late spring and into early fall, a weekly CSA is an easy way to incorporate more local fruits and veggies into your diet.
For an idea of what to expect, check out our guides to CSA 2017 and CSA 2016. Additional inforomation about the March 2nd event is available on Facebook.
