- I love good food! Years of restaurant work, a stint on a vegetable farm in Oxford, Maine and a graduate degree focused on resource economics and sustaining small farms were chapters of my food-odyssey...
Most recently, my passion for sustaining small producers and for preserving access to local foods led to work with the Midcoast Fishermen's Cooperative of Port Clyde, Maine. I worked with this group of fishermen to create the Port Clyde Fresh Catch brand, and to develop a seafood business and supply chain for their seafood.
Now I'm trying to figure out my next adventure in local foods and food systems--all ideas and leads welcome and appreciated!

Are there any in the Oxford Hills area? or the Lewiston / Auburn area? I have cut flower bouquets (in season) and think a buying club is a great idea.
Share your experiences, thoughts and questions about consumer buying clubs.
