Slow Food Portland is very pleased to cosponsor a gathering of CSA farmers this Sunday, with the Maine Council of Churches and MOFGA. Last year the event was a tremendous success, drawing in over 350 people to meet local farmers. This year, thanks to the hard work of organizers from SFP, Mofga and MCC, the event will grow much larger. We have nearly fifty farmers lined up this Sunday, at 4 locations around the state! Here are the details:

Portland: 1st Parish Church of Portland, 425 Congress Street
Hallowell: St. Matthews Episcopal Church, 18 Union Street
Auburn: St. Michael’s Episcopal Parish, 78 Pleasant Street
Bangor: Redeemer Lutheran Church, 540 Essex Street

All events will run from 1-4 pm this Sunday, February 10. Admission is free. Directions are online at the MOFGA website.

Hope to see you all Sunday!
