Farmers, artisan food makers, wine makers and brewers from Chester County are set to make a strong showing for local sustainable agriculture during the third annual Philly Farm Fest, set for 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 13, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia.

The event is sponsored by Fair Food and the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture. General admission tickets are $20 and visitors are encouraged to bring market bags to carry home the bounty of Chester County and other parts of the state. In all, more than a hundred farmers, food artisans, chefs and vendors of sustainable local products will exhibit and sell their goods.

This year there will be new demonstrations, workshops, panel discussions and family activities. Philadelphia filmmaker Richard Power Hoffman and his daughter Sylvie, star of “Watermelon Magic,” will talk about the film, show a brief clip, and encourage children to make watermelon magic during a make and take craft activity. Children under 12 are admitted free to the fest.
