Item Description

We built this package around the wonderful organization Fair Food, whose work in Philadelphia complements our own. Use these certificates during the 2012 farm and market season so that you can take advantage of the tour while enjoying your weekend.

Fair Food was founded in 2001 by Philadelphia entrepreneur, Judy Wicks, to build a sustainable and humane local food economy by spreading the local purchasing practices of her restaurant, White Dog Cafe. Ann Karlen, founding director of Fair Food, began her work by connecting the local farms supplying the White Dog to a larger marketplace of restaurants and stores, while continually bringing in new farmers.

We hope to encourage the winner to join Fair Food for their 11th annual Farm Tour Series where they tour the countryside, visit local farms and connect with family farmers to learn more about our unique local food system.

Enjoy a wonderful two night stay at Hotel Palomar Philadelphia, a Kimpton Hotel, in the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood. The first of its kind, our LEED Gold Certified luxury hotel in the heart of Center City Philadelphia is a testament to superior eco-friendly hotel design, personalized service and genuinely warm hospitality.

Included is a gift certificate for dinner for 2 at Stephen Starr's Buddakan, a spectacular restaurant featuring the exotic flavors of modern Asian cuisine used with creativity and drama and served family style. Named one of "America's Top 50 Restaurants" by Travel & Leisure and 'Top Restaurant for Fun' by Gourmet, Buddakan has become one of the country's most talked about restaurants.

A little extra? A gift certificate for local and very popular chocolatier Eclat Chocolates for their yummy hot chocolate sticks..
