Do you know where your food is from? Ask the Locavores!

  South Shore Locavores: Know Your CSA Farmer  

The next session of the monthly South Shore Locavores series about the phenomenon of "eating locally" will be held on Tuesday February 28th at 7 p.m., at the Beal House, 222 Main Street in Kingston. This session will feature farmers in our area who offer memberships in their CSA (community supported agriculture) farms, a popular and effective way of supporting local agriculture while ensuring a reliable supply of fresh produce from a local source. Rise and Shine Farm in Marshfield, Colchester Farm in Plympton, Sawchuk Farm in Plympton, Weir River Farm in Hingham, Norwell Farms, and South Shore Organics in Duxbury will all be represented. There will also be information about community supported fisheries (CSFs) and grain cooperatives. Anyone who signs up for a CSA membership at the event will receive a copy of the Edible Cookbook, a $30 value, while supplies last.

The South Shore Locavores series is a collaboration between the Kingston Public Library and Edible South Shore magazine. The programs are free, but donations of $5 will be gratefully accepted to offset program expenses and supplement the Library's book budget. Registration is not required.

Participants are invited to bring a dish to share. Coffee is provided courtesy of Jim's Organic Coffee. Cider is courtesy of the South Shore Locavores.
