NORWAY — A local CSA Fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 2, at Fare Share Commons, 443 Main St.

Oxford Hills is home to a growing number of small farms. One of the ways that local farmers and producers make their goods available to people locally is to offer Community Supported Agriculture subscriptions.

Traditionally the CSA Fair focuses on a partnership between consumers and farmers in which members buy shares of the farm’s harvest and receive regular allotments of food throughout the growing season. For farmers, this provides much needed cash flow for the beginning of the season, as well as a ready market and community of supporters. Shareholders join in the risks of the growing season and also reap the benefits of the harvest.

Visitors are welcome to stop in simply to meet some of the farmers and producers who are helping to build a local economy with their small, diversified farms. These local producers are happy to share their knowledge and welcome visitors who want to visit and sample and chat.

Fare Share is celebrating local producers by offering 10 percent off in the store on the day of the CSA Fair. An inexpensive local lunch will be available. For more information, contact Claire at 207-743-9044 or claire@faresharecoop.org.
