About a year ago, I mentioned the dearth of CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) in the area. While I still haven't found one in Venango, you might be interested (via The Post Gazette) to know that Food From Earth in Clarion County will deliver eggs, bread and veggies each week to Seneca. Contact Maggie Robertson 1-814-358-2882

There's also:

Pure Earth Organic Farm, Cambridge Springs, Crawford County
Subscription runs for 14 weeks, from July to October. The volunteer option costs $280 and requires the subscriber to work once a month on the farm doing tasks tailored to the individual's abilities. The nonvolunteer option costs $350. Finally, the "work for food option," means the food is free if you work five hours per week on the farm.
Nonvolunteers are not required to work but are welcome to participate.
For more information e-mail tbogdan1@earthlink.net, visit http://www.pureearthorganic.com/ or call Troy Bogdan at 1-814-967-4423.

Wil-Den Family Farms, Jackson Center, Mercer County

Two would awesome. Thanks.

One of the area's best kept secrets are the $1 Saturday morning shows at the Movies at Cranberry. The selection is a little hit and miss (Michael Clayton good, Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?, not so much). And there's cartoons for the kids at the same time (For instance, you can check out the Aristocats this weekend)

Speaking of film's - this week's film at Clarion University Venango Campus is the excellent Atonement. Flick stars at 7:30 pm in Rhoades Auditorium and is free and open to the public.
