In The Spotlight
Community Supported Fishery
It's not too late to sign up for fresh, Maine shrimp Following last winter’s very successful Community Supported Fishery (CSF) marketing project, Penobscot East Resource Center has partnered with fishermen to sell local shrimp direct to the public for ten weeks through March. Last winter we sold close to 6,000 lbs of Maine shrimp to 120 customers and this year we expect to sell even more as the idea of community supported marketing becomes better known and a popular way to support local producers while enjoying the freshest possible food. Shrimp crop shares are still available for Saturday morning pickup at the Maine Grind on Main Street, Downtown Ellsworth from 11:00am - 12:00pm. You can sign up now for a share by calling (207) 367- 2708 or mail holly@penobscoteast.org.
