Last Chance for Tickets to Just Food's Community Supported Agriculture Conference

Join Just Food for their 11th annual CSA in NYC Conference

With an estimated 100 community supported agriculture programs in its basket, Just Food helps locavore eaters and hungry cooks like you and me to not only connect with a local farmer with a seasonal subscription of delicious fruits and vegetables, dairy products, poultry and meat, but teach members how to advocate for local, good and affordable food, preserve everything from jam to the environment, start a rooftop kitchen garden and, my favorite,  show kids how to cook.

• Where: Food and Finance High School, 525 West 50th Street, Manhattan (btwn 10th Ave. and 11th Ave.) 
• When:  Saturday March 5, 2011 from 8:30 am to 6:00 pm
