Sustainable Living Festival: Local foods lunch, displays, conversation What to bring: display or handouts to share -- about peace & justice or sustainable living practices happening in your church, home, or community; or something locally grown to share; also your own table service (plate, cup, fork,...); but come, look, listen, and taste -- even if you can't bring something to share. We'll supply beverages and some hearty locally-grown food to sample. (We'll also have some compostable tableware on hand if you forget to bring yours.) Location: Germantown Mennonite Church 21 West Washington Lane, Philadelphia, PA. Phone: 215-843-5599 Where can I buy "locally-grown" food? Many Bucks County Farms market locally grown food. Or check the Montgomery County Farms directory. Many Philadelphia Farmers' Markets also carry products from Pennsylvania farms. Where can I find some new recipes for local food in season? Check out Simply in Season cookbook and on-line guide to fruits and vegetables. Organic Kitchen -- links to thousands of recipes. What is a CSA? Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a co-operative venture between a farm and nearby consumers. Typically, a farmer will arrange to supply a variety of fresh farm products weekly during the growing season to individual families or community groups for a price contracted in advance.
