The Common Kitchen and 2006 Food Donors

Volunteers prep food in the Common Kitchen. English photo. The Common Kitchen is a busy place at the Fair and has one of the largest needs for volunteers. Shifts run from early in the morning until the wee hours. Volunteers serve approximately 4,000 meals and feed over 1000 volunteers and roughly 200 planning team, MOFGA board and staff members. Not only are the meals organic but they also provide food for all kinds of diets: vegetarian, vegan and meat lovers. The Fair appreciates “our kitchen” and its coordinators feeding all the hard working people of the Fair. For some volunteers and workers, this is their introduction to organic and Maine-grown foods! Thanks to all the Common Kitchen workers for all your hard work! The Common Kitchen volunteer staff and the donation team of Patti Hamilton and Bill Whitman managed to get almost all of the Kitchen food donated from individuals and businesses. These exceptional businesses are listed below; please support them and let them know how much you appreciate their support of our own Common Ground Country Fair! Common Kitchen co-coordinators Tom Kemp, Patty Hamilton, Bill Whitman, Kim Bolshaw, Madeline Cantwell and (missing from photo)  Barbara McLennan solicit food, come up with recipes to use whatever ingredients are available, and put volunteers to their best use – and feed thousands of Fair volunteers.
