The cooler weather is finally approaching. Dunbarton farmers have planted new batches of fall crops like arugula, salad mix, and spinach. Hajiya’s radishes, arugula, and salad mix (pictured left) are absolutely stunning this week and make a perfect combo for a fall salad. Kick it up a notch with a new product – organic sunflower sprouts from Grateful Greens and enjoy!
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and we now have local turkeys and charcuterie boxes available for pre-order! Coming soon, a Thanksgiving fixing box of all local veggies and fruit. Celebrate local food this year at one of the most important meals of the year.
Enjoy a local, fresh turkey from Stonewood Farm for your Thanksgiving feast this year! Pre-Order your turkey for pick up at the Fresh Start Market Nov. 22-24. Place your order through your Harvie Profile when customizing your share. Orders must be placed by Nov. 12.
Stonewood Farm is a family-owned and operated farm producing the finest naturally raised turkey in Orwell Vermont. The turkeys are free to roam with access to abundant feed, water, and fresh air. Allowed to grow naturally to size, Stonewood Farm birds are robust and meatier and as a result of their clean and stress-free environment, their birds are healthier and better tasting than conventionally produced turkeys. Turkeys will be arriving fresh and are only available for pick up at Fresh Start Market in Manchester. A $25 deposit is required and the remaining balance will be due at pick up.
Turkeys can be ordered in 3 sizes ranging from 13 to 35lbs and are $3.99/lb.
Grateful Green’s sunflower greens are delicious and nutrient-dense. Perfect for salads, smoothies, garnishes as well as simply munching a bunch of them. Their taste is unique and they have a refreshing crunch, slightly nutty flavor, a hint of lemon for a little zing.
Grateful greens are grown and harvested in downtown Brattleboro VT using creative, low impact, indoor farming technology utilizing solar and rainwater.
Starting next week, the Fresh Start Market will now be open on Tuesdays from 11am to 4pm! We are so excited to be opening for another day to bring fresh and local food to the neighborhood.

Brewer’s Crackers – Sea Salt & Rosmary Pita Chips
Brewer’s Crackers is an Up-Cycled cracker company in Somerville MA driven to reduce food waste in craft brewing industry (US Breweries in the US produce over 1 billion tons of edible food waste each year that ends up in our landfills!)
They make their chips using Up-Cycled brewery grains, a valuable byproduct from the beer-making process. When making beer, brewers steep super high-quality grains, like barley, in water. They then strain this mixture, keeping the liquid to make beer and discard the “spent” grains. Turns out, these grains are still incredibly flavorful and nutritious. They recycle these saved grains into crackers & pita chips. They pair perfectly with Dips, Cheese, Soup, Salad or just to snack on.
Ground Up Grain, located in Holyoke MA, stone mills their flours using 100% locally sourced grains. Their Whole Wheat Flour is made with locally grown hard red winter wheat and hard red spring wheat.
Each 5lb bag of flour directly supports 95 sq ft of Northeast farmland where grains serve as a cover crop, making our soil and water healthy and supporting a resilient food system
Don’t forget some Fresh Apple Cider (in pints and half gallons) from Brookdale Fruit Farm in Hollis, NH. Apple cider isn’t just for drinking, try one of these creative uses — in salad dressing, oatmeal, soup, smoothies, baked chicken, fall cocktails, even pancakes!
Sweet Rowen Farm’s Storm Bloomy Rind Cheese is inspired by the small, crottin style cheeses of old Europe. These tall, drum shaped, lactic-set cheeses are carefully ladled by hand and aged for several weeks to ensure a good bloomy rind. These cheeses deserve to be served at room temp, as you would a brie or camembert, to allow for full sensory appreciation.
Maplebrook Farm’s 100% whole milk, smooth and creamy, hand-dipped ricotta is made with fresh Vermont milk and bursts with flavor. It is perfect for all recipes, whether savory or sweet.
