Our first Green Drinks was fun and encouraging. Please join us for our second and bring your thoughts, information, ideas and a smile. We will have a solar oven demo on the deck, weather permitting.
FYI if you are new to the concept of Green Drinks:
No this isn't about green beer and St. Patty's, it's about meeting your like minded neighbors to socialize, discuss, network, express concern or delight about the environment and it's related issues.
These events are very simple and unstructured, but many people have found employment, made friends, developed new ideas, done deals and had moments of serendipity. It's a force for the good and we'd like to help it spread to other cities. We at Farmers Fare are now the official GREEN DRINKS Rockport, the next nearest 'node' is in Portland.

Easter Saturday April 3rd 10:30am to 12:30pm
Come along and bring the children to join in the fun of our first Golden EGG-stravaganza. We will be holding three separate Easter Egg hunts for different age ranges:
10:30am 2 to 4 year olds
11:15am 5 to 7 year olds
11:45am 8 to 10 year olds.
The eggs used for the race will have been decorated by residents of Quarry Hill, Windward Gardens, Woodland Assisted Living, and also by the Camden Rockport Middle School after school art club. Each age category will be looking for a Gold-Leafed Egg and the child who finds the one for their category will receive a wonderful, unique Farmers Fare treat!!
The Easter Bunny will be present greeting the children as they arrive and will enjoy having his/her picture taken with them, as will a real bunny from the Knox Humane Society who will be available for adoption. A table will be set up for children to decorate Farmer Fare Easter Cookies and will have a “Pay it forward” bunny for donations towards the baking costs, children can also enjoy a free ice cream.
Children…please wear appropriate footwear for possible muddy conditions and bear in mind the Easter Egg Hunt will be dependent upon the weather, the cookie decorating will happen rain or shine. If the weather is bad please check back here or on our Facebook fan page.

Farmers Fare and One Woman Studio make "Trash" bags!!!
If it wasn't for the vigilence of Julia Ventresco THE woman in One Woman Studio of Ellsworth, Maine these feed/seed/dogfoog bags would literally end up in the waste stream and truly be trash...but NO Julia rescues them from their ignominious fate and makes them into durable and adorable shoulder bags. Farmers Fare LOVED the bags and the concept and wanted to take it one step further by customizing the bags with their own cool graphic brand by printing each bag with stylish Farmers Fare type and thus the "trash" bag was born. Now available on the floor of Farmers Fare with a number of different phrasings for your consideration... and soon to be so through our e-commerce page (doesn't exist yet but it will be up soon), each bag is truly unique. Our thanks to Julia for a job well done and a brilliant idea!!
