Item Description

Cape Ann Fresh catch is the largest community supported fishery in the US!

From its inception in late 2008 to its first delivery in June 2009 to the present, the Cape Ann Fresh Catch (CAFC) Community Supported Fishery (CSF) has worked together with our local fishermen along with shore-side operations to deliver the freshest sustainable seafood available to our members.

Members join the program by purchasing a share for a season. Each week during a season,  CAFC members pick up their shares of fresh seafood at a designated delivery site.

We’re just like a CSA but with seafood—a CSF.

This arrangement benefits local fishermen, the environment, our local economy, and you—CAFC members. Local fishermen benefit by having new, more sustainable markets for their product. The environment benefits from the significantly reduced distance traveled (and lower carbon footprint) of putting dinner on your table. By keeping all costs community-based, our local economy prospers. And you—the CAFC member—get the freshest and highest quality seafood available.

It's a win-win-win-win for our local fishermen, our environment, our local economy and you!

The Cape Ann Fresh Catch Community Supported Fishery program is founded by the Gloucester Fishermen's' Wives Association. Without the efforts of the Cape Ann fishermen and their crews, the staff and volunteers of the CAFC, and last, but most importantly, you—the CAFC CSF members, none of this could have been possible.

Thank You!
