Featured Fundraiser - Trek For PASA 2012
Annual Fund
Since 1992, the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture (PASA) has been bringing farmers together to learn from celebrated experts — including one another — about what it takes to be successful and responsible producers. We’ve also been building bridges between farmers and consumers so that everyone can have access to fresh, locally and sustainably produced food — from “farm to fork.” Support these activities with your gift today!
As the largest statewide, member-based sustainable farming organization in the United States, PASA seeks to improve the economic viability, environmental soundness and social responsibility of food and farming systems in Pennsylvania and across the country. PASA is a network of people who care — we are farmers, activists, consumers, students, city folk, country folk and businesspeople. We are dairymen, educators, bakers, cheesemakers and CSA members. We all have a role in ensuring our food system is reliable for future generations.
PASA Offers Sustainable Agriculture Education. Each year over 2,000 people come together for our Farming for the Future Conference, one of the largest and most respected gatherings on this topic anywhere in the U.S. The conference is followed by a full season of Field Days and Intensive Learning Programs delivering practical information on sustainable farming methods. Your contribution will help assure these strong educational programs continue!
PASA Offers Regional Marketing and Business Support. We have helped develop new farmers’ markets, connected restaurants and retailers to local food sources and assisted farms and other businesses with marketing and business planning. Help these programs thrive with a gift today!
PASA Delivers on Information for the Consumer. Along with several partners, we coordinate Buy Fresh Buy Local® chapters in Pennsylvania, helping consumers find, choose and appreciate seasonal, local foods. The latest addition to this program is a new online social networking community called the Good Food Neighborhood™ which links local people to local food, farms and to one another. Support these activities with your gift today!
PASA Advocates for a Safe, Sane, Sustainable & Fair Food System. In coalition with other organizations, we monitor legislative activities on statewide and national levels, making recommendations for policies that promote farmland preservation, farmer retention, protection of natural resources and increased access to healthy food. Your support will help assure fair food for future generations.

Arias M. Brownback Memorial Scholarship Fund
PASA is honored to establish the Arias M. Brownback Memorial Scholarship Fund. Formed by request of his parents, Mike and Terra Brownback, it is their sincere hope that this memorial fund will inspire and aid young farmers to reach their full potential. It is intended as an endowment to help youth and other developing farmers attend the PASA Farming for the Future Conference each year. The scholarship expresses PASA’s commitment to providing educational opportunities for those wishing to learn sustainable agricultural techniques and methods regardless of financial position. Donate to this endowment fund today to enable more new farmers reach their potential. Thank you very much for remembering Arias Brownback by supporting this worthy cause.
