What’s Inside

from the director

Looking Back, Behind, and Ahead

Urban & Suburban Farmstands

Our Tenth Anniversary is a time to look back, but it’s also a great time to look behind the scenes and ahead at what’s to come

page 8

Grid to discuss this year’s Local Food Guide, they asked me what I was most excited about these days. My mind went immediately to the things I thought people want to hear about Fair Food – like the 10th annual publication of the Local Food Guide and the success of Philly Farm & Food Fest.

But when I mentioned that much of Fair Food’s work is behind the scenes, and that what I’m most excited about are projects that are not “consumer-facing,” they encouraged me to share this aspect of Fair Food’s work with readers of the Local Food Guide.

When I sat down with the folks at

Fair Food was originally envisioned as operating behind the scenes, building demand and supply for local food. We did that by going doorto-door to restaurants, telling them about the wonderful produce, meat and dairy available right here in the region, and then reporting back to the farms, letting them know what the market was looking for. Over the years this work has taken many forms, and it continues to be rewarding to be the grease, or the glue, or whatever metaphor you use to describe the facilitator.

But through the years, our profile has risen. Our bustling Fair Food Farmstand in Reading Terminal Market sells all locally grown and raised farm products. We’ve made headlines by providing Double Dollars for our customers who rely on SNAP benefits to purchase their groceries, making these products more accessible and affordable. Now, for the 10th year in a row — and our fourth with The Local Food Guide was Grid — we bring you the Philadelphia compiled by Fair Food, Local Food Guide, which is inextricaproduced by Grid and bly linked to our membership program. published by Red Flag Media, Our members are the businesses high1032 Arch St., Third Floor, lighted in this Guide who we recognize Philadelphia, PA 19107. for serving, selling and producing local food in their restaurants, stores and The red flag icon cafeterias.

But in addijon@gridphilly.com tion to the events, the publications and the Farmstand, making connections art director and growing new markets remains at Jamie Leary the core of our mission. jamie@gridphilly.com Fair Food is one of a handful of ordesigner ganizations around the country whose Danni Sinisi primary functions are facilitating sales danni@gridphilly.com of local food, making market and supcontributor ply-chain connections and working to Lauren Medsker understand and shift market demand.

there isn’t yet an official name for this role, and I’m working with a group of colleagues from around the country to coin a phrase. We’re considering “Value Chain Facilitator,” and Fair Food is leading a national discussion around how to best define, acknowledge and develop the important work of these food system connectors.

Another exciting project is a collaboration between Fair Food, the Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Market (PWPM) and the USDA’s Agriculture Marketing Service. If you’re not familiar with the PWPM, this “Terminal Market” is made up of 25 produce wholesalers that have been in business for generations. PWPM is an essential component of our region’s food system infrastructure. With annual sales of approximately $1 billion, the market contributes greatly to the region’s food economy and food security.

So why would an organization devoted to building a local food system be interested in collaborating with a market that sells produce from all over the world? Because we know that in season, a lot of the food at PWPM is local. The USDA knows it, too, and beginning this month and for the next year, they will be tracking the local food flowing through the PWPM. Parallel to this quantitative study, Fair Food will conduct a qualitative study, engaging PWPM’s three major stakeholders: the shareholders (or merchants), the farmers and the customers who shop the market. This innovative public-private-nonprofit partnership is an opportunity to assess how a greater volume of local food can be sold by our region’s produce growers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and surrounding states.

But whether we’re behind the scenes or creating a scene, our goal remains the same: to keep local farmland in production and help more fair food reach more people every day.

Warm Regards, Ann Karlen, Executive Director Fair Food

entrepreneur, Judy Wicks, to build a sustainable and humane local food economy by spreading the local purchasing practices of her restaurant, White Dog Cafe. Over the past thirteen years, Fair Food has built demand for local food across all sectors of the food system. Along with our partners in the field, our work has created a paradigm shift in the public’s perception about what we eat by shining a spotlight on the men and women who grow our food.

“You’ll think twice about the food you put into your mouth after you read Drift. This thriller isn’t only compelling—it’s about something hugely important.”

Drift

An ecological thriller about GMOs from Jon McGoran

“McGoran impressively integrates concerns about genetically modified produce with an action-filled storyline and fleshedout characters…The disturbing, but scientifically plausible, secret at the heart of the bad guys’ schemes is an original one, and McGoran makes the most of it.”

Publishers Weekly, starred review “This is a rare rip-roaring read that’s also about something very serious—in this case, genetically modified foods. It’s somehow both escapist fun and a scary real-life wake-up call.”

RealSimple.com “This biotech thriller delivers a complex Frankenfood story, with lots of twists and turns leading to a startling ending.

Readers who enjoy Michael Crichton or liked Paul McEuen’s Spiral, or even the nonfiction biothrillers by Richard Preston, will find much to enjoy here.”

Booklist

David Morrell, NYTimes bestselling author of Murder as a Fine Art

“Jon McGoran is a writer to watch.

His effortless prose keeps his quirky characters ripping through a tricky plot that’s as unusual as it is original.

Drift is a winner.”

F. Paul Wilson, NY Times bestselling author of Dark at the End

“Drift is a compelling and devious novel from a powerful new voice in thriller fiction. Jon McGoran has the chops to become one of the greats!”

Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of Assassin’s Code and Rot & Ruin

“Cops, drugs, plenty of action. Drift is written with style and verve. Do yourself a favor and read this tough thriller.”

John Lutz, NY Times bestselling author of Serial

“Gripping, chilling and written with aplomb. Packed with plot twists and palpable tension; it’s Lee Child’s Killing Floor with a smart-aleck Reacher. Genuinely unputdownable.”

Owen Laukkanen, author of The Professionals

Growing Local After thirteen years of Fair Food, local farms showing healthy growth

Against the backdrop of long-term overall declines in both the number of farms and acres farmed in Pennsylvania, since Fair Food began thirteen years ago, our local food system has enjoyed a dramatic increase in the number of small farms feeding directly into our local food shed.

2013–14 LOCAL FOOD GUIDE

Local Food guide philadelphia 2013-14

Glossary When we talk about fair food, we mean...

Artisan: Food produced by non-industrial methods. Artisan producers respect the raw materials with which they work, know where these materials come from and understand their unique characteristics. They have mastered their craft and have a historical, experiential, intuitive and scientific understanding of it.

Biodiversity: The presence of genetic diversity or variety among plants and/or animals in an ecosystem. Greater biodiversity within an agricultural area generally leads to healthier soil and improved resilience to diseases and pests.

In contrast, monoculture is a lack of genetic diversity in an agricultural area.

Buying Clubs: Members order food for periodic delivery, typically once a week. Unlike CSAs, buying clubs operate on a “pay-as-you-go” basis, allowing members to order as much or as little food as they want each week.

Certified Organic: In the United States, all Certified Organic fresh or processed foods must be produced according to the national organic standards and certified by a USDA-accredited inspection agency. Organic farmers must use only approved materials that will not harm humans, animals or soil life.

Chemical Free: Farms that refrain from using any chemical pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and other similar agents. Chemical-free farms may or may not have USDA organic certification.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA): A form of direct marketing in which consumers pay for a share of a farm’s harvest at the beginning of the growing season and subsequently receive goods from that farm throughout the season. Consumers share in the risks and benefits inherent to agriculture while providing economic security to the farmers.

Conventional Agriculture: This broad category of farming practices encompasses everything from IPM (see below) to heavy reliance on machinery and chemicals to raise crops and livestock.

Cultured/Fermented: Foods that have been broken down into simpler forms by ye asts, bacteria or fungi. Fermented foods generally enhance digestive processes and have a longer shelf-life than non-fermented foods. Examples include yogurt, kefir, miso, sauerkraut and kombucha.

Free-range chickens on Spring Wood Farm in Kinzers, PA.

Fair Trade: Business Practices that improve the terms of trade for farmers and artisans by increasing access to markets and ensuring just compensation for their products and labor.

Farmstead Cheese: Cheeses made by the farmers who raise the animals that produce the milk. In other words, they are cheeses “from the farm.”

Food Hub: Business or organization that actively manages the aggregation, distribution, and marketing of source-identified food products primarily from local and regional producers for the purpose of strengthening producer capacity and access to wholesale, retail, and institutional markets. Food hubs have positive economic, social and environmental impacts in their communities, and fill a critical gap in regional food systems.

Foodshed: Similar in concept to a watershed, a foodshed outlines the flow of food feeding a particular area.

Free-Range/Free-Roaming: Animals raised in systems where they can move about in an unrestrained manner.

GMO free/non-GMO: The vast majority of processed foods in the US contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs), whose DNA has been manipulated in a laboratory using genetic engineering. GMO-free products have no genetically engineered ingredients.

Certified organic products must be GMOfree. The non-GMO claim is unregulated, but some products are verified by a third party, like the Non-GMO Project.

100% Grass Fed: Animals that have been raised entirely on grass and are fed no grain.

This term applies specifically to ruminant animals, such as cows, that are meant to eat grass.

Heirloom Varieties: Plants grown from seeds saved through several generations that have not been artificially genetically modified.

Growing heirloom varieties is important to the preservation of genetic diversity in the food supply.

Heritage Breeds: Traditional livestock that have not been altered by the demands of modern industrial agriculture. Heritage breed animals retain their historic characteristics and are raised in a manner that more closely matches the animal’s natural behavior.

Hormone & Antibiotic Free: Animals that have been raised without the use of growth hormones or subtherapeutic (routine) antibiotics.

Humane: Animal husbandry practices that raise animals under conditions that resemble their natural habitat, including ample outdoor space for movement, a healthy diet and limited-stress environment.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM): A lowinput approach to managing crops, ornamentals and orchards. IPM methods include, but are not limited to: using predatory insects to kill plant-eating pests, employing mechanical pest traps and using chemicals when necessary to avoid losing a crop. Considered a more sustainable alternative to the heavy use of pesticides.

Locally Grown: Farm products raised within our regional foodshed, which Fair Food considers to be a radius of approximately 150 miles from Philadelphia.

Pasture-Raised/Pastured: Animals that have never been confined to a feedlot or feeding floor and have had access to pasture throughout their lives.

Raw Milk: Milk that has not been pasteurized or homogenized. Many believe that raw milk contains more beneficial bacteria and enzymes, protein and other nutrients. Raw milk may also carry an increased chance of exposure to harmful microorganisms. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture regulates the operation and sanitation of raw milk bottling facilities in the Commonwealth. Twentyeight states in the U.S. currently allow some form of raw milk sales. Another important benefit of raw milk is that direct consumer sales and other viable markets for raw milk dairy farmers bolster their dairy business in an otherwise difficult dairy market.

Raw Milk Cheese: Cheeses made from unpasteurized milk. In the U.S., raw milk cheeses must be aged for at least 60 days.

Seasonality of Food: refers to the times of year when a given type of food is at its peak, either in terms of harvest or flavor. Seasonal foods are typically the freshest, most flavorful, and least expensive on the market.

Renovation of Weavers Way Mt. Airy

Helping local food innovators strengthen our communities

SNAP Incentive Programs: Programs designed to increase SNAP (formerly food stamps) recipients’ access to fresh, healthy food by matching SNAP spending with coupons to spend on additional food. Philadelphia has two key incentive programs: Fair Food’s Double Dollars and the The Food Trust and Philadelphia Department of Public Health’s Philly Food Bucks.

Sustainable Agriculture: An holistic method of agricultural production and distribution that strives to be ecologically sound, economically viable and socially responsible for present and future generations. Growing/production methods may include, but are not limited to, organic, IPM, chemical-free and responsible conventional.

UJMN is pleased to have designed nourishing spaces for Weavers Way Co-op, The Food Trust, and Swarthmore Co-op

rtmGRID4.5x4.75_Layout 1 8/31/12 3:24 PM Page 1

Transitional to Organic: On average, USDA Organic Certification takes about three years of applying certified methods to a farm’s growing or production operations. While working toward a “Certified Organic” status, many farms use the word “transitional” to define their farming practices.

Triple Bottom Line: A business model that gives equal weight to environmental sustainability, social justice and economic success.

Iovine ’s

Value-Added Products: Farm products that have been processed so as to add value in some fashion. Examples include jam, pickles and yogurt.

Vine ripened/Tree ripened: Fruit that has been allowed to ripen on the vine or tree. Within the industrial food system, fruit is often picked before it is ripe because it is better able to survive long distance travel. Tree or vineripened fruit has more fully developed natural sugars and so generally has better flavor.

Wild Foraged: Refers to the harvest of uncultivated plant-based foods that grow in the wild.

Examples from this region include ramps, hen of the woods mushrooms, fiddlehead ferns, and paw paws.
