Arlington Heights, IL: 2nd Annual CSA Expo
6:30-9pm
Arlington Heights Library
500 N. Dunton Avenue, 60004
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer. Interested consumers purchase a share (aka a “membership” or a “subscription”) and in return receive a box (bag, basket) of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season.
Meet local farmers, taste samples, and find out about CSA options in the Northwest Suburbs!

Also featuring a screening of the documentary King Corn
Two recent college grads discover where America’s food comes from when they plant a single acre of corn and follow it from the seed to the dinner plate. With the help of government subsidies, genetically modified seeds and powerful herbicides, America’s most subsidized crop becomes the staple of its cheapest—and most troubling—foods.

written by prairiediva, Jun 18 2011
I will be in Brisbane for the World Environmental Educators Conference from July 19 - July 24. I would love to get to know some Australians interested in traditional foods. As for myself we are starting an aquaponics farm at Seagoville High School Environmental Science Magnet and am hoping to demonstrate the system at the event. In addition, I will be holding a roundtable discussion about using social media and google docs, to promote and educate about sustainability and real foods.
