About the Festival

Festival Mission: Our festival mission is to:

Generate increased demand for local and sustainably produced food through education and promotion.

Support the growth and development of local farms and locally owned food­related businesses.

Increase the availability and access of healthy local food to urban communities.

Facilitate collaborations between local food farms, businesses, and public and non­profit organizations.

Our Definition of Local Food: We define local as Massachusetts grown and produced as the first preference, and then expanding beyond the state to Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont in New England.

Participating Vendor Requirements: All dishes/portions must be made from locally grown or sourced perishable foods such as:

If any ingredients are not produced in MA or New England, SBN Requests that vendors select the next most local option (PA, NY, Quebec etc.) and/or the most sustainable option available­ organic, fair trade etc. Vendors should clearly label what farms/suppliers and their locations are being used in their dishes at the event to inform customers (Ex. Braised beef from Lyndell Farm, Pepperell, MA served with sautéed collards from Red Fire Farm, Granby, MA). In addition, all vendors are required to conform to SBN’s Zero­Waste festival rules:

Phone: (413) 625­4604 E­mail: [email protected] Website: http://www.foxbardfarm.com/ Hardwick Beef, Hardwick, MA Offer: Grass­fed beef At Hardwick Beef, we provide the very best beef from animals that are raised on grass, without any antibiotics or added hormones. There is an increasing demand for safe and healthy food, and a demand for an ability to track a cow from birth onward. With mad cow disease an ever­growing concern, consumers want to know if their food is safe. We are promoting a return to grass farming. As animals are moved from one fresh paddock to another, grass is continually being grazed when the vitamins, minerals, and proteins are at their best. Consequently, cattle get the best possible nutrition, manure is spread evenly across the land, and the farmland actually improves with use.

Year­round availability through Boston area distributor Prima Provisions: Phone: (617) 464­4130 Website: http://www.hardwickbeef.com/ King Creek Farm, Ware, MA Offer: Grass­fed beef, free­range pork King Creek Farm is located in the Ware Center Historic District on Route 9 in Ware, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

We use no chemicals, hormones, antibiotics or pesticides on our animals and fields, so we have the best all­natural food in town!

Feeding animals in pastures, with trees for shade and protection from the elements, room to roam so that the cattle can spread out, short grass for keeping the livestock cool in the summer, and fresh water, virtually eliminates disease problems in the herd. We do not use artificial growth hormones, growth stimulants, or artificial or antibiotic feed additives.
