Taster Explanation: "Park St's uniqueness score arises in that they offer a completely vegan alternative. Does any other food booth at Fair do that?"

Sweet Leaf Farm and Cafe

Menu
Sweet Leaf Cafe proposed menu

Taster's Explanation: "Sweet Leaf"s uniqueness and originality score stems from the fact that they grow nearly all of their own veggies and fruits (ok, not the bananas). And their smoothies are great."

Mission

A local 40 acre farm providing produce to its community is a social commitment to positive change. We support other local businesses, use only organic ingredients, and implement alternative energy resources (solar power electricity and virtually zero waste at festivals). The booth provides a forum for communication of ideas, and is in fact a 13 year evolution od such ideas.

Sweet Leaf is an educational experience. From providing information posted on how our food is grown, to demonstrating solar electric systems in use, to kids pedaling their own smoothies, we offer access to a wealth of information
