Did You Know? (CAFM Fundraiser)

That last evening’s fundraiser for Cape Ann Farmers Market held at Cape Ann Community Cinema was alot of fun and a rousing success?  The event was very well attended and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves while supporting a very good cause.  I had previously popped into the cinema to see it, but this was my first event there.  It is a wonderful, homey, comfortable, very cool cinema that Rob Newton has done an admirable job of creating for the community.  If you haven’t been, visit http://capeanncinema.com/ to see what he has coming up on the schedule, and subscribe to his email list (I just did).  We have so many great things happening on Cape Ann, that if we don’t remind ourselves, we miss them.  On that note, take out your cell phone right now and punch in 72727 and then CAFM, you will receive a text message reminder each Thursday that it is Farmers Market day, so you won’t forget.  In addition to the wonderful refreshment provided by Alchemy and Duckworth’s Bistro’s cauliflower and sweet potato and ginger soups, amazing cupcakes by The Cape Ann Cake Co., beer from Cape Ann Brewing Company, Alfalfa Farms & Still River Winery wines, wonderful bread by A&J King Artisan Bakers, awesome feta cheese by Valley View Farm and service with a smile provided by Latitude 43, we saw the entertaining, thought provoking and kind of scary film Fresh.  I’ve seen other similar sustainable food films, and they always remind me of how sick our country has become, and why – we are what we eat, and in the name of convenience, we are allowing ourselves to be force-fed highly processed, unnatural foods that are not what nature intended us to eat, and we are suffering the consequence.  However, we do have a choice, and buying fresh, nutritious, locally grown food at the Cape Ann Farmers Market is a good choice we can make for our families and ourselves.
