Our Purpose

The Cape Ann Fresh Catch (CAFC) Community Supported Fishery (CSF) looks to rejuvenate one of America's original small businesses: fishing. The CAFC CSF helps our local fishermen put their sustainably-caught seafood straight onto your dinner plate through a direct-to-you distribution model. The CAFC CSF is a collaboration between area residents, shore-side operations, and the local-fishing community. CAFC CSF members give the fishing community financial support in advance of a season. In turn, the fishermen provide a regular volume of seafood during that season to members. CSF's directly reconnect people to the ocean and our rich, fishing heritage by building an honest and fair relationship between fishermen and shoreside operations, the members who help sponsor them, and the oceans that sustain us.
