Farm Happenings for February 20, 2023

While the crops may not be growing yet, our Food Hub team is! We are so excited to have Savitri on board as our new Food Access Manager! She will be managing the Mobile Market this summer, as well as assisting with the Fresh Choice Program and overseeing the Community Ambassadors Program. Savitri earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Connecticut with a focus in community organizing, and is passionate about immigrant rights, climate justice, racial justice, and health equity. Welcome to the Fresh Start Farms Team! And check out her full bio on the ORIS webpage.

What can you look forward to in your FarmShares this week? Butternut squash, rutabaga, and beets from Harlow Farm from and swiss chard from Warner Farm, among many other root veggies and greens. Not to mention: treats from the Crust & Crumb! Stock up on loaves of honey oat, whole wheat, coffee cake, and cinnamon buns, which will keep wonderfully in your freezer until you're ready to warm them up and enjoy them.

Thank you & we'll see you soon!

If you are new to Fresh Start Farms, welcome!

We are a collective brand for immigrant and refugee farmers participating in the New American Sustainable Agriculture Program, a program of the Organization for Refugee and Immigrant Success. We work alongside new American farmers to bring farm fresh ingredients to your table via neighborhood farm stands, farmers markets, our FarmShare, wholesale and through NH Farm to School.

Twenty-three new American farmers make up Fresh Start Farms. Nine farmers are part of the New American Farmers Co-op and grow at Our Farm on Story Hill in Dunbarton, NH. An additional 14 farmers, the Umoja Farmers, grow on land at the St. Paul's School in Concord, NH.

All producers in the Fresh Start Farms collective implement organic practices. While not certified organic, the farmers grow nutrient dense produce without chemicals and in a way that promotes healthy soil, habitat, and environment.

We speak 13 languages, represent 7 countries and grow over 50 different varieties of produce!
