Welcome! to the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania Regional Buy Fresh Buy Local Page.
Great things are going on with local foods in the Northern Tier and we encourage you to check out our many farms and markets! Buy Fresh Buy Local activities in the Northern Tier are coordinated by the Northern Tier Cultural Alliance, a Folk Arts Support center located in the refurbished Washington St. Station next to the Susquehanna River in Towanda. With the generous help of dedicated volunteers, we work to promote local food and farming in 6 Northern Tier Counties: Potter, Tioga, Bradford, Susquehanna, Sullivan and Wyoming. For more information and/or to volunteer, click the "Contact Us" link above.
This chapter recently held a Buyer-Vendor day; has run booth displays at local festivals and events; sponsored workshops for farmers market vendors, and held a kickoff event in Towanda that featured 5 chefs and 2 local bands in 2007. We also offer support for various groups organizing markets, farm tours and other food related events.
In July 2008, we published our first Local Food Guide. The Guide is available at various locations across the region. Call us at 570-268-5055 or download a copy from our website (Resources/PDF's). We will be updating the guide and reprinting in late 2010. A form is available at our website to report information for the new guide. Please request to be included! You do not have to be a member to be included in the Local Food Guide. We are also selling ads in the new Guide to help underwrite production costs - contact us for ad rates if you are interested. This is a great way to reach folks interested in your products!
