A collaboration of Fair Food and PASA, PF3’s proceeds benefit these nonprofit organizations.

LOCAL FOOD, LOCAL POWER

To offset the electricity emissions of this event, Clean Currents has purchased Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) equal to the amount of power used on April 14th at PF3. RECs were developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to account for the environmental benefit of electricity generated by green sources.

Each REC represents 1,000 kilowatts per hour of renewable energy, equal to the amount of energy produced in the average single family home each month. By purchasing enough

RECs to match the electricity usage of this event, Philly Farm & Food Fest is officially wind-powered!

All RECs provided by Clean Currents are Green-e Energy Certified, ensuring that the energy purchase supports the development of new wind resources in the U.S. So, you can breathe easy knowing this event is truly sustainable.

Meet a Legend

Judy Wicks Book signing

Judy Wicks, founder and former owner of the White Dog Cafe, will be signing and selling copies of her new book, Good Morning, Beautiful Business. The book, her memoir, is about the evolution of an entrepreneur who would not only change her neighborhood, but would also change her world — helping communities far and wide create local living economies that value people, nature and place more than money.

phillyfarmfest.org

If you have yet to experience the difference in flavor and quality of humanely and sustainably raised meat, plan on adding meat to your PF3 shopping list. Lamb, pork, chicken and grassfed beef are all available from a wide variety of family farms and local businesses.

In the Atrium, Philadelphia CowShare will be hosting a one-day sale, featuring 100 perecent grass-fed beef and pastured pork from several local farms. You can purchase individual packages of steaks, roasts, ground beef, bacon, sausage, pork chops and more at a great price. Philadelphia CowShare will also offer sampler packs including a mix of cuts, plus recipes to match.

All of the meat is individually packaged, labeled, USDA-certified and flash frozen.

Organic Mechanics Soil Company Mark Highland started organic farming and landscaping in the 1990s when there was little organic potting soil available. So he began researching soil and how to embrace environmental sustainability in the landscape and garden world. Today, Organic Mechanics offers a 100 percent organic potting soil and planting mix made with locally sourced ingredients. The soils are used by backyard gardeners as well as professional gardeners at arboretums and botanical gardens, including Longwood Gardens and Chanticleer Gardens.

OwowCow Creamery

ReAnimator Coffee

Stryker Farm

A premium ice cream producer in Bucks County, OwowCow Creamery uses local eggs, cream and honey to make ice cream in small batches completely from scratch. While their chocolate (a super rich ganache chocolate) and three vanilla (Madagascar, Indonesian and Tahitian) flavors are year-long staples, other offerings change with the season, depending on which fruits and herbs are available. In the spring look for flavors featuring local lavender, mint, berries and lemon, as well as new toppings and homemade syrups to create the ultimate local sundae. Stop by their stores in Ottsville and Wrightstown to try a scoop (or two!). facebook.

Founded by Drexel University graduates Mark Corpus and Mark Capriotti, ReAnimator Coffee is a locally owned and operated micro roaster based in Philadelphia. What originally began as a hobby is now a mission to provide fresh, sustainable, single-origin coffee roasted in Philadelphia. ReAnimator prides itself on not just providing a high-quality product, but also educating customers about where their coffee comes from, how it’s roasted, and even how to brew it. reanimatorcoffee.com

As a student at Drexel University, Nolan Thevenet realized he was spending more time daydreaming about a future as a livestock farmer than listening in class. So despite having no agricultural experience, he decided to move back to his family’s 47 acres in the Pocono Mountains and start farming. The rolling hills and thick overgrowth proved to be ideal for raising pigs and goats in a small, sustainable way.

Three years later, the farm is raising pigs, goats (for meat and dairy), and plans to add chickens this spring. strykerfarm.com

Wild For Salmon After a commercial salmon fishing trip to Alaska with a friend in 2002, Steve and Jenn Kurian saw the potential to bring sustainably harvested wild Alaskan sockeye salmon back to Pennsylvania. Now each summer the couple travels to Bristol Bay, AK where they spend several weeks fishing. The salmon are filleted, flash frozen and vacuum sealed in Alaska, then shipped back to Pennsylvania where it’s sold online, at their retail store in Bloomsburg, Pa., as well as at farmers markets, natural food stores and restaurants throughout Pennsylvania. wildforsalmon.com

The Merchants Fund makes small grants to small businesses in Philadelphia.

We invested with Philly Farm & Food Fest because it is all about the best food from our

local economy. Featured above is Gilda Doganiero, board member of TMF, her extraordi-

locally and Kira Baker-Doyle is also a board member. Both companies will be exhibiting at Philly Farm & Food Fest. The photo was shot at the Fair Food Farmstand at Reading Terminal.

making the grade A new standard helps consumers make ethical meat decisions

E

ach year more than 60 billion land animals are raised for meat around the world, reports the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization. One way farmers can help ensure the well-being of their animals is to follow the 5-Step Animal Welfare Rating Standards —a tiered rating system for animal welfare practices and conditions within farm-animal production systems.

The standards were originally implemented as a two-year pilot project at Whole Foods in 2008, but today the program is run by the Global Animal Partnership, an independent nonprofit that brings together farmers, scientists, ranchers, retailers and animal advocates with a goal of improving animal welfare in agriculture. As of fall 2012, the 5-Step program included just over 2,000 operations that are raising more than 140 million animals annually. Currently there are standards for beef, cattle, pigs and chickens.

How does it work?

Ratings are decided by independent thirdparty certifiers via auditors trained by the Global Animal Partnership. The auditors follow specific criteria to evaluate animal health and well-being, handling, living conditions and transportation.

Why is this standard important?

The standards support and recognize farmers and ranchers for their commitment to animal welfare, while identifying a pathway for incremental and meaningful improvement. Additionally, the standards provide customers with transparency on how animals are raised for the meat they’re purchasing and eating.

How can you recognize Step-rated products?

Step-rated meat is identified with colorcoded signs and stickers in the fresh meat and pre-pack cases.

How does this relate to organic certification?

An organic standard follows completely different criteria; Step-ratings relate to animal welfare only. However, Step-rated meats can also be certified organic.

T h e 5 -S t e p A n im a l W e l f are R at in g S ta n d ards No crates, no cage s Animals live with sp ace to move around and stretch their legs.

St ep 1

Enriched environ ment Animals are provid ed with enrichments that en courage behavior tha t’s natural to them — like a ba le of straw for chick ens to peck at, a bowling ball for pig s to shove around, or a sturdy object for cattle to rub against.

St ep 2

Enhanced outdoo r access Pigs, chickens and turkeys might live in buildings but the y all have access to outdoor areas.

St ep 3

Pasture centered When living outdo ors, chickens and turkeys get to forag e, pigs get to wallo w and cattle get to roam.

St ep 4

Animal centered; all physical alterations prohibi ted The well-being of the animals is the prima ry focus; efficiency and econo my are secondary.
