Garden to Table” program
Hello Good Morning Gloucester. My name is Rachael Theriault and I am the Adult Services librarian at the Manchester Public Library. I am contacting you in hopes that you would please consider adding in your blog a program we are sponsoring about a “Garden to Table” program at the local community center to promote local food sources such as Maggie Mehaffey of Mehaffey Farm, Catherine Steinhoff of Sea Street Soups, Niki Bogin of Cape Ann Farmer’s Market, Gloucester Back Yard Farmers, Shady Oaks Organics Mushrooms, and The Open Door Food Pantry. Attached is a PDF of our flyer with the events information, as well as part of the press release we are using. Thank you for your consideration.

Ever wonder what makes local, organic food that much better? Find out from our family friendly program “Garden to Table”. This event is sponsored by the Manchester-by-the-Sea Public Library in association with the Cape Ann Farmers Market. It takes place on January 28, 2012 from 10AM – 1PM, at the Manchester-by-the-Sea Community Center. Various Cape Ann food distributers discuss the importance of buying food locally and what it takes to bring that food to your table. Learn about the obstacles and benefits of what they do, and why it is important for our community, our environment and ourselves. There is no charge to attend. During the event, vendors will be selling, sampling, and supplying information supplied from 10 am-12pm. Then from 12pm-1pm the floor will open for a panel discussion. Some of our guests will include Maggie Mehaffey of Mehaffey Farm, Catherine Steinhoff of Sea Street Soups, Niki Bogin of Cape Ann Farmer’s Market, Gloucester Back Yard Farmers, Shady Oaks Organics Mushrooms, The Open Door Food Pantry, The Trustees of the Reservations and Moraine Farm.
