Community Supported Fishery! World PEASpartnered with the Cape Ann Fresh Catch (CAFC) to deliver wildly-fresh, local, and sustainably caught fish to several towns in the greater Boston and Lowell areas. This wonderful opportunity is open to anyone, whether or not you are a member of the World PEAS CSA. CAFC operates using the same 'community supported' model as Community Supported Agriculture, known as Community Supported Fishery (CSF): Consumers join the CSF at the beginning of the season, by paying up front ($20-$24/wk for 13 weeks).  Weekly shares will consist mostly of cod, hake, haddock, pollock, whiting and the flatfishes like yelllowtail flounder and grey sole, e.g. (except halibut).  Shares can be picked up in Dracut (provided we get enough shareholders!), at the same time and place as the World PEAS CSA distribution, as well as in Cambridge, Jamaica Plain, Lexington, Lincoln, Fenway and several other locations.  For more information or to register, visit the Cape Ann Fresh Catch website, call 978-283-7304 or email info@capeannfreshcatch.org. Fresh Roots, Youth Lead Catering Company UTEC's Fresh Roots Catering business combines quality food with a social purpose, and is available to help you impress your guest at your next function. Incorporating seasonal produce, customized menus, and gourmet dishes, the program is available to cater lunch for your business meeting, appetizers at your cocktail party, serve dinner at your fundraiser, or work around your specific needs.
