Happenings @ the Freight Shed: Market Morning December 6, 2014

Peter Felsenthal will be selling his book, "NEW GROWTH: Portraits of Six Maine Organic Farm" at the Freight Shed in the Community Room this Saturday with a portion of book sales being donated to the Bath Freight Shed AND to ArtVan! 

In keeping with our mission of raising awareness and accessibility to our local food system, we encourage folks to come meet Peter, pick up your copy of New Growth and in turn, support the restoration efforts of the Bath Freight Shed as well as support mobile arts therapy programs that ArtVan offers our communities.

AmeriCorps NCCC Team Buffalo 1 -- Thank YOU!

A huge THANK YOU to the amazing AmeriCorps NCCC Team Buffalo 1! 

This group of young people (ages 18-24 ) arrived at the Freight Shed early Saturday in the pouring rain and after an introduction to the history of the place and what's happening here, they dug in! 

Painting, cleaning, organizing, cleaning the Virginia model, building shelving, and moving a huge block of white oak, fresh from Higmo's Sawmill. Maine's First Ship and the Bath Freight Shed Alliance could not be more thrilled.

This AmeriCorps team comes from all over the country: Washington, Colorado, Maryland, Texas and more and has formed a really cohesive group. It was great to see how they support each other and are super problem solvers. They seemed truly interested in this place and what we are doing. The cold temperatures and grey skies could not dampen their spirits!

We hope to welcome AmeriCorps back again and if we are really lucky we will have a longer term AmeriCorps member here at the Freight Shed it the future! 

With some fuel, in the form of warm sticky buns Aaron Park baked, this group was a whirlwind!
