  • 2/22 Taste of Mansfield/Celebrate CSA Day With Us

    Not only is today National CSA Day, but for those of you that live in the Mansfield area we have a unique event where you can actually meet the 6 CSA farmers in the area that are offering memberships for this summer. Several of these farmers have their pick ups conveniently scheduled at a time you can swing by on your way home from work.
     
    If interested, please stop by the Mansfield Community Center today starting at 5:30 pm.  Details below. There is no charge to just stop in and meet the farmers.  
     
    This event is coordinated by Taste of Mansfield, a collaborative of Town of Mansfield public bodies + UConn Extension.
     
    Note: If you live outside the Mansfield area, a complete listing of CSAs in the state can be found here: http://farmtocommunity.uconn.edu/csa-trail.php
