The first CSA Fair was held in 2011 with 18 farm exhibitors and drew 400-500 visitors. The CSA Fair is sponsored by USDA Farmers Market Promotion Program and the Grove Arcade. Attendees can sign up to learn more from farmers, or bring your checkbook if you are ready to subscribe. Groups from workplaces and congregations are encouraged to attend, as many farms will deliver directly to groups if numbers allow.
