We hope that January is off to a good start for you! A reminder that we will be closed on Monday to observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so Monday FarmShares will be delivered on Tuesday, January 17th. Wednesday FarmShares will be delivered as scheduled on the 18th.
May this holiday serve as a reminder–and a demand–that we keep fighting for social, economic, and environmental justice in our country. One way we can do that is simply to learn more: Stanford University has created the Martin Luther King Jr. Research and Education Institute where you can go to read Dr. King’s works and learn more about his life and the movements he inspired. Or, check out the King Center to learn about their educational programs, which include trainings on the philosophy of non-violence.
As always, click on the pictures below to learn more about highlights from this week's bounty, featured recipes, pantry items, and more.
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!
