The Farmstand was in the New York Times yesterday! An article called, 'Rare Breeds, Frozen in Time' featured Fair Food partner Swiss Villa Farm (SVF) Foundation and their work to preserve heritage breed animals, and highlighted our Heritage Breed Education project.

Did you know that much of the meat, dairy and eggs we sell at the Farmstand comes from heritage breed animals? Preserving heritage breed livestock has always been a goal of our work because they are best suited for being raised on pasture. As most of us know, animals raised on pasture enjoy a more natural, social and healthy life. Fair Food and SVF believe that we must eat them to save them, which is known as "conservation on the hoof." In other words, like with all agricultural products, these heritage breeds require a viable market for farmers to continue raising them.

For that reason, Fair Food and SVF are partners in a Heritage Breed Education project, scheduled to launch at the Farmstand this spring. The goal of the project is to use the Fair Food Farmstand as a platform for raising awareness about heritage breed animals and to more clearly identify the heritage breed products we already sell at the Farmstand. Some of the farms that are raising pure and mixed heritage breeds are Country Time Farm (pork), Meadow Run Farm (pork), Spring Water Farm (Dutch Meadows Raw Milk), Swiss Villa Dairy (Raw Milk), Natural Meadows Farm (eggs), Landisdale Farm (beef), and more! Be on the lookout this spring for the launching of the "Fair Food Heritage Breed" brand!

For all special and bulk order inquiries, please contact Emily Gunther, Product Manager at emily@fairfoodphilly.org.

When not otherwise labeled, all produce is grown without the use of conventional fertilizers or pesticides.
