Autumn is here, school is well underway, and the routines of our lives keep us moving at a pretty fast pace. Sometimes it can be hard to find excitement in our day-to-day tasks; but our environment changes all around us, all the time, offering up opportunities to grow. Lots of things are growing here at Fresh Start Farms, and it's not just the amazing fruits and veggies: 8 new greenhouses are under construction at the NEW Concord farm site on Silk Farm Road! We are very excited for our Umoja Farmers to move there next season. Visit our website to hear about what else is growing at Fresh Start Farms!
Thank you & we'll see you soon!

From all of us at Fresh Start Farms, take good care and be well.
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!
