New and Improved Fair Food!
You know that warm, tingly feeling you get when you buy organic produce? Well, Fair Food gives you that times 10, since it’s boosted with Buy Fresh, Buy Local power. Today is their first day in their expanded new digs at Reading Terminal Market.
There’s lots of freezer and fridge space, so you can see the humanely raised meats and local cheeses on offer. (Try the pork chops. MMM!) There’s even a new open fridge for the more fragile produce, where you could find several pints of raspberries when I went by.
All their products come from local farms and producers. And because they source from a variety of places, Fair Food has an excellent selection, from the expected to the unusual — fresh local gooseberries and emu eggs were both on offer this summer. Even everyday products get a boost from the Buy Local magic, though. I once spent about 10 minutes raving about how much better their garlic was. (Seriously. It is. Try it, and believe.)
I’m hoping the expanded space will also allow for a better selection of other local food products, too. Like….
More John and Kira’s, please!
The new Fair Food Farmstand is in the old Rick’s location, on the 12th Street side, just up from Bassett’s Ice Cream.
