CSA, Community Supported Member circle

The purpose of this guide is to facilitate direct-market connections between local farms and
eaters. Purchasing local food helps support family farms, grows our local economy and keeps
farmers in business.
Farmers Markets - due to frequent changes
in days/times and locations, we do not include farmers
markets in this guide. However, we publish an annual
brochure of Northern Tier Farmers Markets. Look for it
at markets and also on regional tourism websites. Some
markets in the Northern Tier are not strictly “Grower-Only”
markets; along with producers there may be vendors
selling items purchased from auctions or sources outside
our region. We encourage you to shop at the growers
market nearest you, ask questions, and purchase from
members of the Northern Tier Buy Fresh Buy Local chapter.
CSA, Community Supported
Agriculture - is a system in which
consumers pay in advance and share the risk
and the bounty of a farm. For a share price,
you receive a bag or box of farm products
on a regular basis (usually weekly) for a set number of
weeks. Arrangements and products vary from farm to farm,
but CSA members are assured an adventure in eating and a
relationship with “their” farm and farmer.
Member circle - A blue
“member” circle signifies an active member
in the PA Northern Tier chapter of Buy Fresh
Buy Local. Consider this a “seal of approval”
and evidence of the business or farm’s commitment to
produce food and sell it in our region.
“The Northern Tier Local Food Guide” is a publication
of the Northern Tier Buy Fresh Buy Local (NTBFBL)
Chapter currently administered by the Northern Tier
Cultural Alliance. NTBFBL is a
chapter of the FoodRoutes Network
LLC (FoodRoutes.org) a subsidiary
of the Pennsylvania Association for
Sustainable Agriculture (PASA) - our

statewide coordinator. Northern
Tier is one of 13 BFBL chapters
in Pennsylvania and over 75
chapters nationwide!
The Northern Tier chapter covers Bradford, Potter, Sullivan,
Susquehanna, Tioga and Wyoming Counties. Contact us at
[email protected]. Join us!
Funding for this publication provided entirely by our
members and advertisers! Please patronize them as their
support makes this guide possible.
The goal of our BFBL chapter is to make it easier for
Pennsylvania consumers to find, choose and appreciate local
foods… and to support farmers and farmland retention. We
create food guides, create and distribute food fact cards for
elementary age students, coordinate events and educational
programs, document and celebrate our regional agriculture and
craft heritage, and maintain a Northern Tier Buy Fresh Buy Local
Facebook page along with managing the Northern Tier section of
buylocalpa.org.
Local food is fresher, often produced in an environmentally
friendly and sustainable manner, and tastes better than produce
transported from many miles away. So, if you are looking for a
specific local food or dreaming of a BuyFreshBuyLocal “road
trip,” use this publication as your guide to nutritious and
delicious food and as your road map to a healthier life and more
vibrant rural communities. Enjoy!

There has been significant growth in the number of small wineries in the Northern Tier in recent years. Some have
vineyards and others buy grapes from other local farms. Since it takes a number of years for grape vines to mature,
several wineries are not using all homegrown grapes but hope to increase their percentages. Ask about the source of
grapes and other fruit being used. Some buy grapes or juice from farms in the Finger Lakes region of New York – which is
actually closer to the Northern Tier than is southern Pennsylvania. Others buy juice from California or elsewhere - which
does not support our local agriculture in any way. In this guide, we are listing only wineries with active vineyards and a
commitment to using local fruit. None are certified organic. Further regional winery information can be found online at www.
UpstateWineCountry.com, www.weekendwinery.com and www.pennsylvaniawine.com, among others.
