Carlton County Extension and United Way to host local “Food Fair”

In 2019, Carlton County Extension partnered with the United Way and Fond du Lac College to host a local Food Fair. And now after a brief hiatus, we are bringing it back. Here is a chance to meet your local food producers! The Carlton County Local Food Fair is planned for Saturday, June 10th from 2pm to 4pm at the Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College. Local vendors will showcase community supported agriculture (CSA), beef, chicken, vegetables, fruit farmers and much more! We are excited to offer this event to vendors and attendees in support of local food. Local producers please reach out to reserve a free table to showcase your products, and all that you do! 
Tamara Benjamin, the new local food systems leader for the University of Minnesota Extension, will present on “Benefits Gained from Collaborating and Partnering in Food Systems”. Tamara has been involved in agriculture across the globe, and we are excited to hear about her experiences, and how local producers can grow and flourish with local collaborations. 
This event is free and open to the public. All attendees will be entered in a drawing to win a $50 gift certificate to be used toward purchases with the producer of your choice.  A huge thank you to our sponsor, United Way of Carlton County, for graciously donating the gift certificates. 
Food producers, please call Ann or Mercedes at 218-384-3511 to reserve a table. We look forward to celebrating YOU!
