Local Food guide Philadelphia 2011-12
From the Director
Is the idea of eating local mainstream yet?
Every day it seems more and more like it is.
Fair Food is 10 years old (wow!) this year. We started by
connecting a few forward-thinking chefs with a handful of
enterprising farmers. At the time, it felt so ground-breaking—like we were reinventing, or maybe rediscovering, the
food system. Now we expect to find locally grown produce,
meats, dairy and cheeses in the places where we shop and
eat, whether it’s high-end restaurants, cafés or neighborhood retail shops.
This change didn’t happen by accident. Nor did it happen
because one person or group set out to make a difference.
Food system reform has been a steady groundswell for the
past quarter-century, with things really ramping up over
the past 15 years. What I’m loving right now is that everyone’s getting into the game—you see nonprofits opening
businesses, businesses forming co-ops, and farms starting
nonprofits. Community development organizations that
traditionally work on affordable housing are focusing on
food issues. At the same time, the food and agriculture
groups are addressing issues of food access and community engagement.
In our corner of the world, we’ve been hard at work keeping pace with the demand for local food. Six years ago we set
up a folding table in the center court of Reading Terminal
Market with the goal of educating a diverse consumer public
about local agriculture. We set out a modest array of beautiful produce and labeled it with the name of the farm that
grew it. A small chest freezer was packed with humanely
and pasture-raised meats, something that was really hard
to find at that time. Little did we know that we were piloting
a retail location, but the consumers in Reading Terminal
were hungry for local food! Week after week, they returned,
begging us to expand our offerings and our hours.

And expand we did. In 2006 we abandoned the folding
table for a stall on the Arch Street side of Reading Terminal.
Having a permanent location was the beginning of turning
our tape-and-bubblegum operation into a social enterprise
business. We realized, too, that sourcing food from 90 family farmers/producers and telling their stories to our customers fits in with our mission to educate.
In 2009 The Fair Food Farmstand moved again—this
time to an even larger space on the 12th Street side of Reading Terminal Market. Our prominent location has enabled
us to reach an even broader audience, and we’re also now
deliberately reaching out to SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) shoppers through our Double
Dollars program.
Through the years, Fair Food has attracted a wonderful
staff of people who are passionate about food. This year
we asked them, “What do you love about Philadelphia as
a local food mecca?” As you leaf through the guide, you’ll
see our smiling faces accompanied by statements of deep
appreciation for neighborhood burger and beer joints, great
eggs and the approachability of each person along the local
food chain.
I couldn’t agree more. Look around Philadelphia and
you will see businesses, non-profits and community groups
working to build a sustainable local food system—one that
supports family-scale farming, promotes biodiversity and
provides access to healthy food for all Philadelphians. If
you feel inspired to join the movement, then do it—there’s
still plenty of room at the table.

to my life. I love how easy it is to find multi-colored, pastured, local

The city is bursting with new restaurants dedicated to highlighting the bounty
of our region’s hard-working producers. Here are six new spots that have our
locavore hearts aflutter. By Ariela Rose
The Farmers’ Cabinet  The rustic Farm-
ers’ Cabinet (pictured) is the first downtown
venture for husband-and-wife Matt and Colleen
Swartz and partner Matt Scheller (formerly of
East Falls’ Fork & Barrel). Hanging candles encased in mason jars illuminate oak barrel tables,
a 60-seat communal table and menu offerings
displayed on thin slats of reclaimed barn wood.
Chef Peter Felton’s menu grabs ingredients from
local spots including Birchrun Hills Farm for
whole milk cheeses, Liberty Gardens for organic
produce and Ponderosa Poultry for duck eggs.
1113 Walnut St., Mon.-Sun., 3 p.m. – 2 a.m.,
215-923-1113, thefarmerscabinet.com
Talula’s Garden  Talula’s Table owner Aimee
Olexy has teamed up with former boss Stephen
Starr to create a garden-to-table concept right
on historic Washington Square. Talula’s Garden
boasts an outdoor patio featuring local flowers and
a pergola created from reclaimed wood. The menu
is a mix of rustic dishes with elegant flair that highlight locally sourced ingredients. Local farms—including Four Story Hill, Birchrun Hills and Cherry
Glen—are responsible for fresh ingredients like
eggs, spring vegetables and grass-fed beef. Diners
can also expect fresh herbs and baby beets plucked
right from the restaurant’s outdoor garden. 210 W.
Washington Square, Sun. – Thu., 5 – 10 p.m., Fri. and
Sat., 5-11 p.m., Sunday brunch, 10:30 a.m. – 2:30
p.m., 215-592-7787, talulasgarden.com
The Farm & Fisherman  Run by husband-
and-wife Joshua and Colleen Lawler, this farm-totable BYOB specializes in fresh ocean fare and innovative plates that let locally sourced ingredients
shine. The restaurant sources from local producers including Farm 51 in West Philly and Medford,
N.J.’s Jennings Farm. Try the pancetta-wrapped

mushrooms for a preview of the egg collaboration
the restaurant is planning with the farm. Jennings
is currently raising chicks that, once grown, will
lay eggs especially for F&F in a specially designed
“egg-mobile.” 1120 Pine St., Tue.-Sat., 5 – 10 p.m.,
267-687-1555, thefarmandfisherman.com
JAR Bar  Fresh, local produce is important
at this raw food restaurant, where diners nosh on
fruits and vegetables in their simple, naked glory.
Owners Joel Odhner and Jennifer Richmond will
work with local vendors including Lancaster’s
Paradise Farm to create Thai coconut ginger soup,
sweet potato pasta, kale chips and a variety of fresh
juices from Richmond’s Catalyst Cleanse line.
Since raw food inherently requires no cooking, the
restaurant has no stove, gas grill, fryer or exhaust
fan, making the facility’s energy use especially low.
107 S. 12th St., catalystcleanse.com
Pure Fare  Siblings Kunal and Kriti Sehgal
created Pure Fare to link their shared love for nutrition and innovative technology. Pure Fare’s “My
Fare” system allows customers to create an online
account that keeps track of what they eat and how
much they exercise. The fast, casual spot serves
simple, whole food dishes created by Chef Sarah
Ginn using locally sourced and organic ingredients
from Green Meadow Farms, Lancaster Farm Fresh
and Baker Street Bread. Nutritional data and ingredients for each dish are clearly listed on Pure
Fare’s site, whether you choose to slurp down a
cashew-banana smoothie or enjoy a wheatberry
salad with beets, butternut squash and raw kale.
119 S. 21st St., Mon. – Fri., 7a.m.-7p.m., Sat., 8 a.m.
– 4 p.m., 267-997-4524, purefare.com
Opa  Brother-sister team George and Vasiliki
Tsiouris’ Midtown Village spot balances traditional Greek fare and contemporary elegance. A
24-seat river rock bar and tables made from reclaimed oak add clean simplicity to the décor’s
aquatic, Mediterranean vibe. Chef Andrew Brown
creates artfully plated dishes that utilize local ingredients from Green Meadow Farm in Lancaster
County, plus seafood that adheres to the Monterey
Bay Aquarium’s sustainability standards. Dishes
are created using Tsiouris family recipes and include Bifteki, a feta-stuffed local grass-fed burger,
Spread Pikilia hummus, tzatziki, Tirokafteri (a
spicy Feta dip), vegetables, olives and grilled pita.

treasures. Locally sourced food gift ideas abound.
whether you’re putting a care package together for
far-flung family or just looking for a few fresh items to share
with friends, we’re certain there’s a delicious Philadelphia
treat that will fit the bill. Here are just a few of our favorite
Philly Homegrown edible gifts.
Gilda’s Biscotti 1 gildasbiscotti.com
If you think biscotti is just a jaw-breakingly hard cookie, it’s time to
discover Gilda’s. Light and delightfully crisp, this biscotti is worlds
away from other rock-solid spears. Gilda Doganiero (a former pastry
chef at the Four Seasons) first baked up her delectable biscotti in
1996 to trade for free La Colombe espresso.
However, as people discovered the delights of her perfect,
dunkable cookie, she expanded her operation and now runs a
commercial bakery in Salem, N.J. Gilda is committed to using the
best ingredients, including eggs from her backyard flock of hens.
Gilda’s Biscotti is a fantastic gift all on its own, but is even better
paired with a bag of coffee beans from one of our many
local roasters.
Bluecoat Gin 2 bluecoatgin.com
The artisanal spirits movement has been picking up steam and Philadelphia’s Bluecoat Gin is a prime example. Made in a custom-built,
hand-hammered copper pot still, each bottle has been distilled five
times, creating a truly smooth quaff. What’s more, Bluecoat stands
out from the pack thanks to its unusual herbal and floral notes.
It’s the perfect gift for the friend who’s beginning to explore
cocktail culture and wants something both classic and a little quirky.

South Philly’s Green Aisle Grocery. To make a lasting impression,

Figs Migrants carried figs, one of the first plants cultivated by humans, to
zones far outside their Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and northern Indian
origins—all the way to South Philadelphia. Photographer
and Fair Food staffer Albert Yee has spotted the trees
all over South Philly. “Once you learn to recognize the
three- to five-lobed leaves, they are unmistakable,” he
says. The city’s warming “concrete island” effect helps
the trees survive frigid winter temperatures, as does
planting them facing south, and close to a house. Yee
suggests walking or biking around to find trees with
fruit-laden branches overhanging the street. Check out
the giant specimen at 10th and Christian to learn the fig’s
identifying features.
Asian vegetables  Mystery comes heaped in tempting viridian and emerald piles courtesy of Xiuqin Qin and
Zuohong Ed Yin, growers of stunning Asian vegetables at
Queens Farm in West Chester. Their weekly table at the
Headhouse Farmers Market serves as a taste portal for
both vegivores and fans of home-cooked Asian cuisine.
The pair started their farm on three acres in 2003, after
finding it impossible to procure the produce they wanted.

Pawpaws  “Ten years ago, you could hardly sell them,” says Green Mead-
ows farmer Glenn Brendle of pawpaws. “Now, people are familiar and anxious
to try them.” The largest edible fruit native to North America, the pawpaw has
a curiously tropical flavor, and texture similar to a banana. Brendle describes
the flavor as “caramel mango-banana, with slight strawberry and pineapple
overtones.” Southwark chef Sheri Waide buys all the pawpaws she can get during the fall harvest, pureeing and freezing the custardy fruit for use during the
dark days of winter. A brief ripening window and short shelf-life have kept the
pawpaw from making significant commercial inroads,
but they are worth seeking out at farmers markets in
late September. As Brendle says, “when just tender, they
are out of this world.”
Emu Eggs  Laid in late winter and early springs by
the “girls” of Boody Mills Emu Ranch in Sewell, N.J.,
deep turquoise emu eggs appear in baskets at Weavers Way Co-op and Fair Food Farmstand for a limited time each year. The vibrant shells contain a much
higher proportion of thick, pale yellow yolk to white
than a chicken’s egg, making them suitable for use in
desserts, stuffings and custards. Though Dromaius novaehollandiae is the largest bird native to Australia, it
shouldn’t be confused with the larger, more aggressive
ostrich. “Ostriches are 8 feet tall, 450 pounds and will
kick and kill you,” says Marcus Bass, who runs Boody
Mills with veterinarian Dinah Flack. “Emus are 6 feet
tall, 125 pounds, and they’ll look you right in the eye…
and run away.”

Whether in a local pub or schmancy-pants restaurant of the
moment, our local cheeses are finally getting their due! Philly has
always been a big cheese town, but now it’s more the norm than
the exception to support our regional dairy farmers—and I love
it. —Paul Lawler, Farmstand Cheesemonger and Dairy Buyer

A Caravan
of Freshness
Some people are happy just to know where their food came from.
Others want to shake the hands that grew it. Join Fair Food and GRID
as we kick off another season of Farm Tours that put you face-to-face
with the growers and purveyors behind your favorite local fare. Visit
fairfoodphilly.org and gridphilly.com for more information as the tour
dates draw nearer.

Snout-to-Tail
Tour and Dinner
September, Date TBD
October, Date TBD
Pennsylvania, fourth among apple-producing states in the country, has a long
history of growing quality fruit. This
September we will visit two Adams
County orchards that are keeping the
tradition alive, growing commercial
apple varieties like Gala and Golden
Delicious and lesser-known heirlooms
like Smokehouse and Gold Rush, as
well as stone and small fruits. Join
us as we tour Beechwood Orchards,
a fifth-generation farm in Biglerville,
and Three Springs Fruit Farm, a seventh-generation farm on 350 acres in
Wenksville. Stay tuned for details on a
catered dinner, dancing and live music
by Three Springs farmer Ben Wenk’s
regular Thursday night jam crew.

farm
tours
Cows, sheep, pigs and chickens didn’t
always eat processed soy and corn and
live in cramped feedlots. Learn why a
grass-based pasture system produces
healthy animals and high-quality food
when we visit two family-owned livestock farms this October. From the
farms, we’ll move on to a processing
facility where we will learn about
humane animal slaughter and see the
meat-cutting process in action. After
our day in the country, field-trippers
will have the opportunity to return
to Southwark restaurant for a dinner featuring meat from the farms we
visited, and sous chef Nick Macri will
demonstrate the methods behind his
exceptional charcuterie.
Cheesemakers of Chester County
Sunday, June 26
With its acres of bucolic pasture and rich agricultural tradition, Chester County is undoubtedly Pennsylvania’s hotbed of
farmstead cheesemaking. Local fromagophiles will have the opportunity for a private tour and tutored tastings with two star
artisans when we bus out to the country to visit Doe Run Dairy
in Coatesville, where Kristian Holbrooke is crafting and aging
stunning mixed-milk cheeses from their herd of goats, sheep and
cows. Next, we’ll be calling on Sue Miller at Birchrun Hills Farm
in Chester Springs. Her creamy Birchrun Blue, funky Fat Cat
and petite-but-powerful Red Cat all come courtesy of Miller’s
80 Holstein gals, each with her own name. Walk the pasture, ask
questions, eat cheese. Repeat. Family-friendly; departure point
and time TBA; $35 for adults and free for children under 12; transportation and lunch on the farm are included.

Glossary
Buying Club Local food purchasing group that
shares the costs of purchasing and distributing
food among members. May operate on a subscription or pay-as-you-go basis.
Certified Organic To be labeled organic in the
United States, all fresh or processed foods must
be produced according to the national organic
standards and certified by an inspection agency
accredited by the USDA. 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, fungicides and other similar
agents. Chemical-free farms may or may not have
USDA organic certification.
What we talk about when we talk about Fair Food…
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.
Grass-Fed Animals that have been raised entirely
on grass and are fed little to 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 Heritage breed animals are
traditional livestock that have not been altered
by the demands of modern industrial agriculture.
The heritage breed animal retains its historic
characteristics and is raised in a manner that more
closely matches the animal’s natural behavior.
Community Supported Agriculture
(CSA) A form of direct marketing where
consumers pay for a share of a farmer’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 CSA farms.
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 yeasts, 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.
Fair Trade Business practices that improve the
terms of trade for farmers and artisans by increasing their access to markets and ensuring that they
are justly compensated for their products and
labor.

Hormone &
Antibiotic Free
Animals that
have been raised
without the
use of growth
hormones or
subtherapeutic
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 planteating pests, employing mechanical pest traps and
using chemicals when necessary to avoid losing a
crop. Many sustainable farms rely upon IPM as an
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 continuous and unconfined 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, yet
there is also the belief that
raw milk carries an increased chance
of exposure to
harmful microorganisms. The
Pennsylvania
Department
of Agriculture
issues raw milk
permits, and
regulates the
operation and sanitation of raw milk bottling facilities in the
commonwealth. Twenty-eight states in the
U.S. currently allow the sale of raw milk.
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.
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.
Transitional to Organic USDA Organic Certification, on average, 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.
Value-Added Products Farm products that have
been processed so as to add value in some fashion.
Examples include jam, pickles and yogurt.
