Greetings from Fresh Start Farms!
Things are taking off at the Dunbarton farm. Lots of seedlings are planted and sprouting, garlic and leeks are shooting up, and greens have arrived! This week, Sylvain has harvested more mustard greens for you to enjoy this week.
Look forward to organic carrots, Scarlett Queen turnips, and watermelon radish from Brookford Farm, a restock on Potomac Pears from Champlain Orchards, and lots of frost-sweetened spinach from Queen’s Greens. Plus, a restock on VT Bean Crafters veggie burgers and Maine Grains Rolled Oats, new items from Mola Foods, Herbal Chevre from Blue Ledge Farm, and so much more!
Have you tried the freshly baked bread from Crust & Crumb bakery in Concord? This week they are baking Honey Oat bread and their extremely popular Basil Pesto Bread. Don’t miss it this week!
Farm to School: Bringing local food to Manchester & Nashua schools!
Our Farm to School work is off and running! For the past few weeks, Peg, Fresh Start Farm to School Coordinator, along with Jess Munroe, our partner at Grow Nashua, have been busy assisting students in Manchester and Nashua with a large planting of all the ingredients to make a local pizza. Over 5,000 plants will be distributed among Fresh Start Farmers and community gardeners and starting in August we will harvest tomatoes for our famous Umoja pizza Sauce! Our sauce will be featured monthly on school menus as we convert cafeterias from frozen pizza from large distributors to fresh “Flatbread Fridays” from local farmers. We will be sure to update you as things progress!
