BRUNSWICK — The Frontier Café will host a fundraiser Thursday to support stronger connections between small-scale organic farms and public schools through a Brunswick-based organization called FoodCycle.
The organization is headed by Brunswick resident Adam Williams who, in a press release, states that the organization’s goal as “ creating enduring collaborations between small-scale organic farms and public schools.”
In April, Williams and a team of cyclists will bike 4,500 miles from Maine to California to document the “emergent farm-to-school movement.”
Currently, the organization is raising funds to pay area farmers to grow more than 3,000 pounds of organic produce to donate to Harriet Beecher Stowe School as the organization’s first pilot school.
The fundraiser for that effort on Thursday will include live music, an art exhibit, information about farming and a raffle with items from local stores such as Patagonia of Freeport and Gulf of Maine Books.
Doors open at 5 p.m. for the fundraiser, and a buffet runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tickets are $25. For more information, visit www.foodcycleus.com.
