The forecast may have been cloudy, but the 22nd Annual Seward Co-op CSA Fair was a clear success. Representatives from more than twenty local farms set up under the tent to meet and talk with community members about their available CSA shares, offer samples, and demonstrate the value of a robust local food system. From produce to meat, eggs, cheese, mushrooms, coffee, and more, farm specialties were on display in a vibrant bouquet that visitors happily perused as the afternoon wore on. Farms new to the fair chatted alongside veteran producers, visitors signed up for shares, and smiles were abundant. Seward Co-op is dedicated to helping build a food system that values inclusivity, environmental responsibility, equity, and access, and this year’s CSA Fair was a prime example of these values in action.
Curbside will be temporarily suspended while our website and server undergo software and technology updates. We appreciate your patience.
The festivities were rounded out with fun and games, as attendees were able to spin a wheel to win prizes, play a CSA Fair bingo game, and kids were invited to plant seeds with Midwest Food Connection (MFC). Our community partner at past fairs, MFC is a local education non-profit founded by local food co-ops, including Seward Co-op. MFC provides lessons in cooking, gardening, and eating healthy food to elementary school students.
