The nights are getting cold and we have had our first hard frost. Outdoor crops are dwindling, but we are still looking forward to white sweet potatoes and some of the last of Fresh Start Farm's tomatoes this week. We're thankful for the partner farms we work with that help us continue to offer so many different vegetables even into November. Sunflower greens from Grateful Greens, Sweet Peppers from Kitchen Garden Farm, Hakurei Turnips from Picadilly Farm, and Brussel Sprouts from Warner Farm.
Now in it's third week, the Fresh Choice Project is starting to catch on in the community! We are very excited by the positive response from store owners, customers, and community members. Click on the links below to read more about it.
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!
