Find Your Farm Share!
Thursday, March 13, 3:30–6:00 p.m.
YWCA of Asheville, 185 S. French Broad Ave.
CSA Fairs are a chance to meet local farmers face-to-face and learn more about CSA programs. You can ask questions about what products are included in the CSA box throughout the year, the farm’s growing practices, payment options, and pickup locations. Attendees can sign up for a CSA during the fair or follow up with farmers later. All farms at ASAP’s CSA Fair offer CSA pickup locations or delivery in Buncombe County. ASAP’s CSA Fair is family-friendly, with activities for kids and community connections.
