Get local at the food fair

The first-ever free Carlton County Local Food Fair is scheduled for 1-3 p.m. Saturday, March 2 at Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College.

Carlton County Extension, the Carlton County Food & Nutrition Network and the United Way are collaborating to host this new kid-friendly event to showcase local food producers. Come and meet the wide range of local vendors including CSAs (community supported agriculture farms), berry farms, and producers of beef, pork, honey, wild rice and more. Talk to community garden and farmers market representatives to learn more about local food options, and find out more about CSA summer and winter veggie shares.
