Cape Ann Fresh Catch New Season Is Here!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hi Joey,
Emily from Cape Ann Fresh Catch here-  We need your help! I’m working to spread the word about our new season, set to start the second week in August.  CAFC will continue to deliver locally harvested seafood of the highest quality at the Farmers Market on Thursdays and at several other locations across Eastern Massachusetts- anyone who is interested in joining should sign up NOW!
Community Supported Fishery programs like Cape Ann Fresh Catch are not just about providing consumers with the freshest seafood available.  While we do provide just such a product, our shareholders more importantly get to play a part in keeping community-based, environmentally-minded fishermen in business. Fishing for a living has always been tough, and it’s no secret that increasing restrictions on fishermen are tearing apart the fabric of the oldest fishing port in America. CAFC works to alleviate these hardships by providing fishermen with higher than average market prices and giving them new opportunities to directly connect to their consumers.  CAFC provides new marketing opportunities for these fishermen and also provides a forum for an open dialogue about the importance of buying local and supporting one of New England’s oldest industries: community-based fishing.  Ideally, we would like to be able to expand the number of fishermen we work with- but we can only do that with the help and support of new sharemembers.
Anyone interested in becoming a part of this great opportunity should visit www.capeannfreshcatch.org and sign up today.  And be sure to tell your friends!

Fish Tales: Does Cape Ann Fresh Catch Measure Up?

From North Shore Dish-

Cape Ann Fresh Catch, the Gloucester-based community supported fishery program, has certainly made a big splash since it debuted last year. Lauded by the likes of Boston.com and Saveur, the program has been popular among those with a desire to eat fresh, locally produced foods.

Caught fresh daily by Gloucester fishermen, approximately five pounds of seafood per customer is delivered to seven Boston area communities; Cambridge (two locations), Jamaica Plain, Acton, Lincoln, Marblehead, Gloucester, Newburyport, and Ipswich. There is a two-hour window for shareholders to pick up. Consumers get local, seasonal, super-fresh fish, and the money goes directly to the fishermen, supporting the local economy and encouraging sustainable practices.
