Fresh & New This Week:

Sorry for the false alarm last week. We are happy to say that we should have a reliable supply of ASPARAGUS from here on out. Today, we received plenty of I.P.M. ASPARAGUS from Dante Spina in Salem, NJ. Thursday will bring MIXED GREEN PEPPERS from Green Meadow Farm.

On Friday more treats (read: spring veggies) will arrive - Certified Organic ASPARAGUS from Lancaster Farm Fresh Co-Op, WILD RAMPS are coming in from Common Market, more RHUBARB from Lancaster Farm Fresh Co-Op as well as RED SCALLIONS.


We are temporarily unable to accept AMERICAN EXPRESS and DISCOVER credit cards. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Next week marks our last week with our intern, Keirra Clark. Keirra is a Junior at Mastery Charter High School, Shoemaker Campus (MCSC) and has been with us one day a week for the duration of her spring semester. Through a program at MCSC, Keirra and her classmates all chose an organization for their internship and Keirra chose Fair Food based on her interest in agriculture.

Keirra helped us get through some of the busiest times at Fair Food this winter and spring. She started in the mayhem of our annual appeal and then continued to help us organize the Brewer's Plate, the Local Grower Buyer Event and has even gotten her hands dirty cutting cheese and restocking produce at the Farmstand!

Many of Fair Food's interns have been college students or even college graduates. It is important for us to also work with high school students like Keirra, who are valuable resources and great supporters of local food and sustainable agriculture. The movement can only grow with support of the next generation. We are very grateful for Keirra's help and enthusiasm and we wish her luck!
