The Westchester Organic Fair will raise funds for Mississippi organic farms. “The ‘Adopt an Organic Farm’ – in the wake of Katrina” program will send its donations to hard hit organic operations,” said fair sponsor Harold Hochberger, of Mrs. Green’s Natural Markets. “Some need money for seed, others need new equipment,” he added. In addition to fundraising locations at all Mrs. Green’s locations, profits from the fair will be sent to adopted farms in Mississippi. The program is coordinated with the Mississippi Department of Agriculture organic program.
The fair is the first of its kind in the region. Reaching Connecticut, New York City, Westchester New Jersey, and Rockland County. The fair will introduce consumers, many for the first time, about organic farming and health.
