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

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.

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 NTBuyFresh.BuyLocal@gmail .com. 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.
