It's week one of the fall FarmShare! If you are joining us for the first time, welcome! And welcome back if you have been an ongoing member! We appreciate all of your support and hope you will enjoy the bounty that the fall harvest has to offer.
Monday, October 9th is Indigenous Peoples' Day! In order for farmers and staff to observe the holiday, you will be receiving your FarmShare customization email this afternoon. You will have until Monday, 10/9 at midnight to make changes to your FarmShare. Deliveries and pickups will operate on the normal schedule. This week, you may see some substitutions in your FarmShare since the amounts of crops available were estimated today and might be off a bit by the harvest next week. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding!

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!
