•April 9: 11:30 a.m. Presentation by Farming Falmouth Leaders

Ellie Costa, President of Farming Falmouth’s Board of Directors, and Jeny Christian, Farm Manager are the featured speakers at the Club’s April meeting. Farming Falmouth is devoted to revitalizing our local food system.  The group works to cultivate an informed and engaged food community and to foster the production of diverse foods in thoughtful, fair, and sustainable ways. In 2017, a working group successfully advocated for the town’s purchase of Tony Andrews Farm, saving the land from development and establishing it as permanent farmland.  Many in that group moved on to establish the organization that now works to support and expand local food production.  Ellie and Jeny Christian will describe some of the many ways the organization works toward this goal.

The Club will meet at The Church of the Messiah Parish and Community Center, 16 Church Street in Woods Hole. Light refreshments will be served and those attending may bring a brown bag lunch if they wish.
