The Voices: A Library Lecture Series Committee is pleased to present “Local vs. Organic Food? How CSAs Help Solve the Puzzle” by Justine Denison on Thursday, April 17 from noon to 12:50 p.m. in the BTC Auditorium.
There is a growing movement among consumers to shop for food in places other than the grocery store, including farmers’ markets, food co-ops and CSAs (community supported agriculture). The proliferation of misleading product labels, green washing and other marketing ploys creates confusion for people looking for the best nutritional foods.
Having operated a CSA farm for nearly 10 years, Justine Denison, farmer and co-owner of Denison Farm in Schaghticoke, addresses the CSA model, farmers’ markets and the question of local versus organic with the goal of raising awareness on how to make healthy food choices and knowing what questions one should ask when selecting what to eat.
