Happy Holidays from Fresh Start Farms! This upcoming week is the last week of deliveries prior to a two-week break in the FarmShare! There will be no FarmShare deliveries the weeks of December 26th and January 2nd. The share will resume the week of January 9th.
Another reason this week is special is because of the solstice on Wednesday! That’s right: December 21st, the shortest day of the year! On this day, we have the opportunity to embrace the darkness; to appreciate all of the lights in our lives; and to hope for the increasing (day)light that is to come. We are appreciative of all of your support, which has helped Fresh Start Farms get to where it is today! And we are looking forward to new projects and ideas in 2023.

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!
