Efficiency Maine Information Session
Camden Public Library
Thursday March 25th 6:30pm
Farmers Fare was specifically built to be a very efficient building, from the lighting to the double pane windows to the placement of the building itself and the type of foam insulation that was used, and as such has already recieved a couple of goodly sized rebates from the Efficiency Maine Program. Maybe you could benefit too?
Learn about Efficiency Maine at the Camden Public Library this coming Thursday, there are incentives available of up to $3,000 for homeowners and up to $12,000 for landlords.
Learn how to save on your heating bills through energy efficiency upgrades and so much more. Here is a link to the Efficiency Maine website: www.efficiencymaine.com

Farmers Fare next Green Drinks APRIL 11th
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, and will be updating on our Facebook fan page with any new info as we go along.
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 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, Farmers Fare, are now the official GREEN DRINKS Rockport, the next nearest 'node' is in Portland.

YEA!! Another Indian Cooking Class!!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Register early for Saturday APRIL 3rd - 4 to 6pm
Due to the overwhelming success of our first Indian Cooking Class at Farmers Fare we are scheduling another on Saturday April 3rd 2010 from 4 to 6pm.
The class will be taught by cooking instructor and restaurateur Gunjan Gilbert of “Tandoor Downeast”. This workshop will walk you through how to make some common recipes in an Indian “Thali”. In Hindi “Thali”
means plate, usually a large steel or copper plate with flat bread, basmati rice, vegetarian or non-vegetarian curries, and sauces.
The menu for the cooking class will be:
Parathas-Flat breads
Chutney
Daal Sambhar-Vegetarian curry
Lamb curry
Gunjan, a native of Pune, India, attended college and graduate school in Michigan before moving to Maine. Here, she met and eventually married Christian Gilbert. In 2005, the Gilberts started on a two-person mission to introduce Indian culture and cuisine to Downeast Maine. Through more than a dozen educational programs, Gunjan has brought the healthy, interesting, and unique aspects of India to Maine and the people from all over the world who vacation along the coast. Gunjan and Christian also provide prepared Indian meals at farmers markets in Blue Hill, Ellsworth, and Winter Harbor.
"When I teach people about Indian culture and cuisine," Gunjan says, "people also become more accepting and understanding of all the cultures of this world."
For more information about Tandoor Downeast click HERE
Cost of the class is $50 per person including ingredients. We have space for only 12-15 participants, so please make you reservations early by calling Farmers Fare at (207) 236 3273 or e-mailing at
