Farm Happenings for Dec 15 & 16

Posted on December 11th, 2020 by Sarah Wiggins

 

 
Greetings from Fresh Start Farms!  This is the last week of the Localvore share & the last week of the 2020 farm share season. Thank you so much for your support!
 
The growing season has come to a close and the Fresh Start farmers are taking a much needed break before the 2021 season planning starts in earnest. Soon they will start crop planning, seed & supply purchasing, attending workshops, and preparing for a fruitful upcoming season.
The Fresh Start Farm team is busy reflecting on the 2020 season and planning for an even better year in 2021. Lots of new things on the horizon - a new plot of land, retail space, a farm to school program, and even a new baby for one staff member! 
 
We want your feedback on the Localvore share. Please complete the end of season survey so that we can continue to improve & provide the best possible member experience!
