Giving Back To Fairfax - The FairBuck Takes to the Streets! |
By Merrell Maschino, Secretary, Sustainable Fairfax
San Anselmo-Fairfax PATCH, August 23, 2012
If you spend time in Fairfax, you’ve heard of our shiny, golden-colored tokens that are worth $3 at many local businesses. Launched in 2011, the goals of the FairBuck project are to strengthen and increase awareness of our local economy, and to fund worthwhile community projects. A short year after launch, the FairBuck is paying back our starter loans and is also able to provide grants for local projects.

When Ray Martin opened the Scoop in 2001, he was the first Bay Area entrepreneur to sell organic ice cream flavored with sustainably sourced and local ingredients, such as on organic ice cream base from Straus organic creamery in Marshall, strawberries from Russ Sartori's farm in Tomales, raspberries from Mt. Barnabe Farms in San Geronimo, lavender and honey grown in West Marin. Fairfax Scoop has gone on to become one of Marin's hottest destinations for ice cream served in cookie-like, waffled cones and cups made fresh, on the premises, also from organic ingredients. A dozen flavors are served at any time; these always include one soy ice cream and one sorbet.
