Join Us Farm & Food at #PF3

If you are like me, you most likely do not think farm when someone says downtown Philly. I'm thinking historic Liberty Bell,fabulous Art Museum and maybe a Philly Cheese-steak but not farming. However, on April 1st at the Philadelphia Convention Center you can check out regional farmers, food producers and artisanal food businesses. NO JOKE! ( get it ... April 1st and all!) This is the very first Philly Farm & Food Fest on Sunday, April 1, 2012, 11am at the Pennsylvania Convention Center Annex, Hall G. Be sure to click over to the official event webpage at PhillyFarmFest.com to check out the awesome list of sponsors. @BG_Garden will be attending this event taking the #gardenchat network and sharing on our official page sponsored by Subaru USA. IF you are at the event , be sure to look for the blue twitter bird and say hey! I'd love to share with you how to get connected with 1,000's of other garden, farmin, foodie friends who enjoy using social network to grow! Please click over to the social media 'hub' I put together for the event so you can follow along with the tweets, live stream and images from the event on April 1st.
