Shopping at farmers markets and participating in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs are great ways to enjoy fresh, local produce while also supporting your local farmers. Farmers markets are a great opportunity to connect with the growers and farmers, pick your colorful fruit and veggies and also get the chance to shop artisanal products.
Philly is surrounded by farms that offer CSA. CSA programs are a unique experience, in which you receive a share of a farm’s produce regularly throughout the season. Both options give you access to high-quality, seasonal foods, while contributing to sustainable agriculture practices. This summer, consider exploring these options for a more fresh, flavorful and fulfilling food shopping experience.
