South Shore Locavores
February 28, 2012: Know your Farmer/CSA information

Our South Shore Locavores Swap Table, introduced at your suggestion at the end of the last season, is a feature this year as well. This month, the theme is kitchen gizmos and utensils, so bring those you don't need to swap at the gathering.

The gatherings are free. However, if you are able, a donation of $5 will be gratefully accepted to help cover expenses. Any surplus will be used towards library book purchases.

TEAM UP AGAINST HUNGER: In an effort to help fight hunger on the South Shore, we will be collecting non-perishable foods at the beginning of each gathering to donate to the Greater Plymouth Food Warehouse. If you can, please bring a can.

South Shore Locavores
We've had a great summer, watching a couple of fascinating food films at the Beal House, visiting farmer's markets, eating from our gardens, and planning for another year of South Shore Locavores. We asked for your opinions on topics you'd like to hear about, through our online survey, and we're happy to say that you voiced your opinions loud and clear! We're proud to present this year's calendar of South Shore Locavores events (Sep. 2011 to June 2012), a collaboration of the Kingston Public Library and edible South Shore magazine. We're also providing resource lists of books, movies, websites and more. Visit the resource page at the eSS website and scroll down for the South Shore Locavore's lists

Please note that we will be changing our SSL sessions to Tuesday nights. Gather with us on the fourth Tuesday, September 2011 through June 2012, from 7:00pm to 8:30pm at the Beal House/Sampson Hall, 222 Main Street, Kingston, MA 02364. We're grateful for the generous assistance of Kingston's First Parish Church in providing the location for these sessions.
