Local Growth<\/strong>
\nWhile Reading Terminal<\/strong><\/a> dates back to the mid-1800s, one of its merchants is getting a new and much-needed upgrade. Fair Food Farmstead<\/strong> will inhabit a bigger space this fall on the 12th Street side of the market, where shoppers will have a wider selection of produce, and can more easily interact with the farmers about their humanely raised meats and fresh organic food.<\/p>\n
