It’s week three of the summer FarmShare and things are off to a great start! We thank you again for your understanding with the holiday last week, and are excited to be receiving some great feedback from our *new* pick-up sites at the Merrimack Public Library and Southern NH Health. We are so grateful for all of the organizations that partner with us to offer pick-ups.
Fresh Start Farms team members Savitri and April are operating our Mobile Market this summer and are finding their groove and doing a great job! They will be present at a number of local events this summer, including the Neighbor Fest Block Party on Saturday, June 3rd, hosted by NH NeighborWorks! We wish them well at the event and hope that it is a great time. Check out the Mobile Market page on our website for an updated schedule and other information.

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!
