PENNSYLVANIA BUY FRESH BUY LOCAL®<br />
How to Plug In<br />
The Pennsylvania Buy Fresh Buy Local® program has been celebrating the<br />
abundance found in our Commonwealth since 2002, with the aim of making<br />
it easier for Pennsylvania consumers to find, choose <strong>and</strong> appreciate<br />
great local foods…<strong>and</strong> to support the farmers <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong>s which produce<br />
them. Currently there are 13 active chapters in Pennsylvania. We create<br />
local food guides (both in print <strong>and</strong> online) <strong>and</strong> organize events (such as<br />
farms tours or tastings), among other activities. To learn more about<br />
what’s going on in your region, contact one of the local chapter coordinators<br />
listed below. For information on Buy Fresh Buy Local® chapters <strong>and</strong><br />
