Gloucester Fresh campaign attracts international businesses
Boston Globe
March 23, 2017
By Dave Rattigan
The city‘s Gloucester Fresh initiative had a big week, with a major promotional event and the announcement of a $13,000 grant award. It hosted more than 70 guests — including businesses from Indonesia, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Mexico, and Iceland — at a tasting reception at Seafood Expo North America in Boston. The three-day expo, which ended Tuesday, attracted about 100 new business leads, according to a prepared statement from organizers. Also this week, Gloucester learned it would receive $13,000 from the state Division of Marine Fisheries’ Seafood Marketing pilot grant program. “If you are looking for fresh seafood, the quality that comes off our boats is 100 percent,” said Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken, who spoke at the reception and ran a cooking demonstration with Angela Sanfilippo of the Gloucester Fishermen’s Wives Association.
Mayor Sefatia and Gloucester Fishermen’s Wives Association Angela Sanffilippo provide and update to the Seafood North America Expo delegation on the seafood opportunities in Gloucester.

I have to imagine that the fine folks that live in beautiful Rockport MA are praising the heavens that they have a sleek, adult downtown restaurant to gather and nosh on something other than fish and chips (not that there’s anything wrong with fish and chips).
Chef Doug Papows which we’ve been a fan of for a long while has landed at Feather and Wedge. Kate and I went last night and were not disappointed.
Beautiful room, great food, excellent service. We will be back.

An Ounce of Compost, A Pound of Stewardship: Cape-Ann Non-Profit Boosts Sustainability
For just $10, you can join the movement to make Cape Ann sustainable through the purchase of local, high quality compost. Seaside Sustainability is partnering with Black Earth Compost in order to provide the highest quality of local compost at the best price. Spreading good quality compost boosts plant nutrients and taste and improves the garden’s soil that they are grown in. All money raised through the fundraiser will go to Seaside Sustainability’s Sea Yacht Sailing program, in which individuals can learn about water safety, basic sailing, navigation, oceanic terminology, as well as maritime sustainability.
