t’s hard to beleive that July is already here! Summer is creatinly in full swing and we hope you have been surviving the thunderstorms and heavy rain (not to mention the humidity!). We wish you and your families a wonderful Independence Day. We too are grateful for the opportunity to rest and reflect on our many blessings as Americans.
That being said, we will be taking Monday, July 3rd off in observance of Independence Day. This will not affect FarmShare deliveries, but you can expect the following changes: You will receive your customization email today, Friday 6/30, and will have until Monday 7/3 at midnight to customize. During the holiday week, you may see some substitutions in your FarmShare since the amounts of crops available will be estimated on Friday and might be off a bit by the harvest on Tuesday. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding.

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!
