The definitive year-round guide to eating, buying and dining local in the city of Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA2010-11Local Food Guide

Alex Mulcahy, publisher of Grid magazine, approached me in December. “Grid wants to marry Fair Food,” he exclaimed. That was his

not-so-subtle way of courting us to be their partner for the 2010 Philadelphia Local Food Guide.

In your hands is the progeny of that fruitful union be-tween a publication devoted to Philadelphia’s growth as a sustainable city and a nonprofit organization that sup-ports our region’s sustainable agriculture. This guide is our baby—and we couldn’t be more proud.

Fair Food’s mission is to bring healthy local food to the marketplace. For the past nine years, we have been connecting Philadelphians to fabulous farmers—and their wonderful products—while simultaneously connecting

Certified Organic To be labeled organic in the United States, all fresh or processed foods must be produced according to the national organic standards and certified by an inspection agency accredited by the USDA. Organic farmers must use only approved materials that will not harm humans, animals or soil life.

Chemical Free A farm that uses or-ganic standards and methods but chooses not to be Certified Organic, for whatever reason.

Conventional Agriculture This broad category encompasses everything from IPM (see below) to heavy

reliance on machinery and chemi-cals to raise crops and livestock.

Foodshed The term “foodshed” is similar to the concept of a water-shed: While watersheds outline the flow of water supplying a particular area, foodsheds outline the flow of food feeding a particular area.

Free-Range/Free-Roaming Animals raised in systems where they can move about in an unrestrained manner.

Grass-Fed Animals that have been raised entirely on grass and are fed little-to-no grain. This term applies specifically to ruminant animals, such as cows, that are meant to eat grass.

IPM (Integrated Pest Management) A low-input approach to managing

crops, ornamentals and orchards, IPM includes methods such as us-ing predatory insects to kill plant-eating pests, employing mechanical pest traps and using chemicals when necessary to avoid losing a crop. Many sustainable farms rely upon IPM as an alternative to heavy use of pesticides.

Hormone & Antibiotic Free Animals that have been raised without the use of growth hormones or sub-therapeutic antibiotics.

Locally Grown Farm products raised within our regional foodshed, which we consider to be a radius of approximately 150-miles from Philadelphia.

Pasture-Raised/Pastured Animals that have never been confined to a feedlot or feeding floor, and have had

continuous and unconfined access to pasture throughout their lives.

Sustainable Agriculture A holistic method of agricultural production and distribution that strives to be ecologically sound, economically viable and socially responsible for present and future generations.

Transitional to Organic To be Certi-fied Organic, it typically takes three years of using Certified Organic methods, after which there is an inspection and, if everything is in place, certification. Until that time, many farms use the term “transi-tional” to describe their growing method.

Value-Added Products Farm prod-ucts that have been processed in some way, such as jam, pickles and yogurt.

GlossaryWhat Do We Mean When We Say...

From the Directorthose farmers to the ever-growing demand for a humane and sustainable food supply. At the Fair Food Farmstand in Reading Terminal Market and through our programs and publications, Fair Food creates the links that keep family farms viable in this community. We celebrate the vital role agriculture plays in our personal health, local economy and environment.

We are blessed to live in such a rich agricultural area, so close to working farms and beautiful rural landscapes. And our city is also fortunate to boast an entire commu-nity of folks committed to food issues. Nonprofits, inde-pendent businesses and organized groups of consumers are all working in concert to transform our current system into one that is more local, healthy, fair and affordable.

Sitting in the middle of a growing social movement, it can seem as though victory is around the corner. But, we all know that there are still daunting issues to tackle, including the lack of food access in low-wealth communi-ties and absent infrastructure for local food distribution. We must continue to plow ahead, working on innovative solutions for these complex problems.

That said, we should still be proud, and take a minute to think of all we have accomplished here in Philadelphia, bringing the local, family farm back to our tables. This guide is a validation of that success, filled with restau-rants, small businesses and institutions that are deeply invested in our local food economy. It is also a call to arms: Seek out these spots, choose local over global, strike up a conversation at a farmers’ market and inquire at neighbor-hood establishments about what they’re doing to source more locally and sustainably.

And always remember, this fight is not only righteous, it’s delicious.

Federico Santoyo – Farmstand StaffThere is really too much at the Fair Food Farmstand to pick just one—especially for a foodie like me. Plus, I like eating according to what the season brings. When it comes to meat, I would say: bacon, bacon, bacon! And also Giant Flemish Rabbit, both from Green Meadow Farm.

Standard Tap901 N. 2nd St., 215-238-0630A Northern Liberties stalwart, Standard Tap—and its Fishtown cousin Johnny Brenda’s—offer selections from their ever-changing chalkboard menu long past the dinner hour. Perfect when paired with the all-local draft beer selection, the food is simple, rich and lovingly prepared. Check out the addictive duck confit salad, fried smelts or the pulled pork sandwich, made with meat from Country Time Farm in Berks County. (In a true showing of loca-vore love, Standard Tap sends their stale buns back to the farm; the pigs apparently love ’em.) Alongside the burgers, pot pies and slow-cooked meats is a rotating offer-ing of seasonal vegetables. How long ’til Brussels sprouts season (served with bacon and lemon) comes around again?

South Philadelphia Tap Room1509 Mifflin St., 215-271-7787It might be a bit off the beaten path, but the South Philadelphia Tap Room is worth it just for this locavore carnivore dream: a local, grass-fed burger topped with beer-braised bacon, Lancaster smoked cheddar, red onion and Sly Fox beer mustard. The SPTR serves up plenty of other twists on classic fare—tomato lager soup with grilled cheese, grilled calamari served with local potatoes, baby spinach, herbs and lemon, asparagus and strawberry salad with goat cheese and rib-eye cheesesteak sliders. Wash down your late-night snack with a draft brew from local favorites such as Philadelphia Brewing Company, Stoudt’s and Weyerbacher.

Dock Street Brewing Co.701 S. 50th St., 215-726-2337If you find yourself in West Philadelphia with a grumbling in your stomach, head over to Dock Street Brewing Co., a neigh-borhood favorite. On Friday and Satur-day night, this brewpub serves up brick oven pizzas and rotisserie chicken until 1 a.m. Their beef comes from Montgomery County, while their chickens hail from Lancaster; all the meat is organic and sus-tainably raised. Local produce goes into fresh, simple salads and tops pizzas in creative combinations such as crème fra-iche with spinach and leeks or portobello mushrooms with gorgonzola.

Pub & Kitchen1946 Lombard St., 215-545-0350A gastropub of the highest order, this sign-less spot at the corner of 20th and Lombard keeps their kitchen open late.

The menu features lighter fare as well, including seasonal salads, steamed mussels and raw oysters.

Monk’s Belgian Café264 S. 16th St., 215-545-7005If you’re talking mussels in Philadelphia, you’re probably talking Monk’s. This Bel-gian café serves up eight varieties of their signatures mollusks until 1 a.m. nightly, pairing them with crispy frites (made with locally-grown potatoes) and their beloved bourbon mayo dipping sauce. You can also enjoy an organic grass-fed sirloin, oven-roasted local, free-range chicken, or a burger topped with caramelized leeks and blue cheese. But don’t let the soul-sat-isfying food distract you from their bottled beer list—it’s so extensive and thoughtful that it could pass for a novella. Monk’s also features a rotating selection of draft brews, including their tongue-tickling Flemish Sour Ale.

Genevieve Lodal – Farmstand StaffPequea Valley Plain Yogurt is key to one of my favorite breakfasts. It’s everything a great yogurt should be: thick, creamy and with just the right amount of tanginess. Add some fruit and nuts, and you’re good to go. If I want something special, I go for Betty’s Tasty Buttons Fudge. I love the flavor combinations, and the goat milk gives it a great base flavor. Plus, the packaging is super fun.

Seth Kalkstein – Farmstand General ManagerBirchrun Hills Farm Red Cat is made from the raw milk of grass-fed Holsteins. It’s aged anywhere from 60 to 120 days. At 60, it can be described as two cheeses in one—beneath the edible rind is a semi-soft layer that’s assertive and meaty without being overpowering. The interior is light and the flavor crisp and fruity. At 120 days, the rind is still edible and takes on the bitterness of char-grilled aspara-gus. At this point, it’s a stinky cheese lover’s dream.

Aged Chèvre-Style Cheese with Belgian-Style Farmhouse SaisonShellbark Hollow Farm’s Crottin de Chèvre, West Chester, PA and Victory Helios Ale, Downingtown, PAMost American goat cheeses are young and fresh, but these ador-able mini-cheeses are aged to perfection, imbued with the tang and resonance of flavor made famous by their namesake in France’s Loire Valley. They’re a perfect match for spicy Saison-style ales, such as the golden Helios from Victory Brewing Company. The peppery marma-lade aromas have just enough earthy funk to stand up to this pungent little gem. You can also give it a try with other local Saisons, such as Yards’ Saison and Flying Fish’s Farmhouse Summer Ale.

Rich Blue Cheese with Dark German-style Doppelbock LagerBirchrun hills Farm’s Birchrun Blue, Chester springs, PA and sly Fox Insti-gator Doppelbock, Phoenixville, PAFans of Roquefort should check out this stylish local blue, whose depth, decadence and spreadable tex-ture make for extreme versatility. Cheeses this intense demand a beer of equal strength, and a dark, malty Doppelbock is an excellent option. Originally designed to provide fast-ing monks with enough nutrition to forego their daily bread, this style has become a regional specialty thanks to Pennsylvania’s German heritage. sly Fox’s Instigator is a perfect foil for Birchrun Blue, pro-viding dessert-like flavors of nutty nougat and chocolate-covered tof-fee. Also worth considering are troëgs troëgenator and stoudt’s smooth hoperator.

Funky toma-style Cheese with Bordeaux- style Red BlendCherry Grove Farm’s toma Primavera, Lawrenceville, NJ and Penns Woods Proprietor’s Reserve Red, Chadds Ford, PAAnyone doubting that local cheese can compete with European clas-sics in finesse and complexity should seek out this remarkable New Jersey winner. Inspired by the cheeses of Piedmont in Northern Italy, it delivers a multifaceted range of flavors from fruity twang to truffle-y depth. It makes a lovely match with mid-weight blends of merlot and Cabernet sauvignon, such as the surprisingly ripe Propri-etor’s Reserve from Penns Woods, rich with dark berry flavors and a woodsy tone. more local options in this vein include the Leverage cuvée from Paradocx and Crossing Vineyards’ Vintner’s select.

mild Gouda-style Cheese with Un-Oaked ChardonnayKeswick Creamery’s Vermeer, New-burg, PA and Chaddsford “Naked” Chardonnay, Chadds Ford, PAthis cheese is made in the image of Dutch Gouda, aged just long enough to stand firm. It is richly textured, but extremely mild, with a faint nutty undercurrent. these characteristics are echoed by the subtle opulence of Chardonnay made without the use of oak bar-rels, cool-fermented in stainless steel. the “Naked Chardonnay” from Chaddsford offers crisp or-chard flavors of apple and pear, along with classy, pine-nut plump-ness on the palate. similar charac-teristics can be found in stargazers Chardonnay or the Pinot Grigio from J. maki Winery.

sharp Cheddar-style Cheese with hoppy American-style IPAClover Creek Creamery’s Galen’s Good Old, Williamsburg, PA and Dog-fish head 60 minute IPA, milton, DEPatience has its rewards, and this delightful aged cheese certainly proves that. Cheeses dry slowly over time, becoming denser, sharper, saltier and fattier as they lose water volume. these qualities call for a bold beer with a bitter bite to scour the palate clean. A perfect choice is Dogfish head’s 60 min-ute IPA, a beer that has earned national attention for its master-ful balance of malty opulence and citrusy refreshment. Also consider giving this cheese a try with other local brews, such as Philadelphia Brewing Company’s Newbold IPA or Victory hopDevil.
