Great Internet CSA & Yard's Brewery event

[TarteTatin]

We're part of Covered Bridge Produce which starts in two weeks. Last year it was great.

You order 10 items that you choose (they don't choose for you like some CSA's) over the internet. The variety last year was good, the quality and quantity of the produce excellent. Buy fresh, Buy Local.

Fresh and Local Party at Yards Brewery. Join Fair Food and Farm to

City as we celebrate the beginning of the farming season at Yards

Brewery in Kensington. The party is from noon to 4 pm this Sunday,

to be a great party.

There will be food by Cosmic Catering including a roast, grass-fed

pig, Yards beer, other drinks, the Philadelphia Blue Grass Band,

raffle for prizes, activities for children, and plenty of good

conversation and networking. We will also offer for sale various

useful items emblazoned with our colorful Buy Fresh, Buy Local logo.

If you want to come, please let us know by 5 pm on Wednesday June 9th

so we can get an accurate count for the caterer. Respond to this

email message, put YARDS in the subject line. Let us know who is

coming so we can prepare name tags.

Ooh, roast pig and Yard's beer! Sounds fantastic. Man, I had a bottle of their Phila. Pale Ale the other night, sitting in the garden at sunset, and it was the greatest thing I'd ever tasted. Yow.

thanks for this info about covered bridge. i was just reading the fair food's 2004 flyer thingy that has a listing of a number of CSAs and was wondering what the selection is like. i have a vegetable garden though and wonder if i'd just be getting more of the same?

i am signed up to attend the event @ Yards on sunday too. Do they offer tours of the brewery while the event is happening?

Arice:

Look for us at Yard's. Sam has gray hair and glasses and Susan (me) has long strawberry blond hair.

We'll definitely be there. We'll talk to you about the Covered Bridge, its mainly veg. You can go to their web to see examples.

Yes, there are tours of the brewery. Neat.

Just made reservations (for four; gonna bring three friends along) for Sunday. Looking forward to it, and hope to see lots of eGulleteers there!

This was really good.

There was pork sandwiches, rice salad, broccoli and tomato salad, rice salad, a potato salad.

Someone else will have to give better descriptions. I just ate. And drank. And toured.

(You know, toasted barley is pretty tasty.)
