The daylight hours are getting shorter, the nights are getting colder, and the season has ended for our Fresh Start Farmers. We are very grateful for all of their hard work this summer--and recognize the many challenges that arise--in producing fresh, local food for the FarmShares! But in the meantime, you will still receive wonderful produce from other local farms in the area! Your continued support helps us to focus on our goals as a food hub in improving the accessibility of healthy, sustainably grown food in the community.

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!
