Happy New Year! 2023 is here, and we are excited for the year ahead! Our team at the Hub is growing: we have welcomed a new Food Safety Manager and hope to have a Food Access Coordinator on-board soon! Both of these positions will help immensely in ensuring an even more effective farm season. Additionally, our Program Director, Jameson, will be out on medical leave for several weeks--please join us in sending him good thoughts for a smooth procedure and recovery!
IMPORTANT REMINDER: There will be NO FarmShare deliveries on Monday, January 16th in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Instead, they will be delivered on Tuesday, January 17th. Wednesday deliveries will proceed as scheduled. Thank you!

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!
