Last Thursday, June 15th, we were excited and honored to welcome US Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to our Food Hub for a tour and press release. Secretary Vilsack traveled to Manchester to announce an investment from the Biden administration that will help support small and medium-sized farming ventures in more rural areas throughout New England. While the funding that NH received will go to the construction of a hydroponic greenhouse in Berlin, NH, we were very proud that Secretary Vilsack came to the food hub to learn from the Fresh Start Farmers and to get a small glimpse of the work we do.
Fresh Start Farmers Sylvain, Amisa, and Alice showed off some of their beautiful produce and did a great job sharing about their roles as New American farmers and answering Secretary Vilsack’s questions. Our program director Sarah gave him a tour of the food hub, and ORIS executive director Mukhtar spoke to the press about our organization. It was a huge team effort to make it all happen! You can read more about the Secretary’s announcement in The Boston Globe, The Concord Monitor, or NHPR.

Little Hosmer from Jasper Hill Farm
Little Hosmer is an approachable and nuanced soft ripened cheese. Beneath its thin, bloomy-rind lies a gooey, milky core showing a complex array of flavors at peak ripeness: cauliflower, crème fraiche, and toasted nuts. A bright, clean finish with a hint of white mushroom aroma follows the rich flavors of the paste.
“Jasper Hill’s mission is to make the highest possible quality products in a way that supports Vermont’s working landscape. We are driven to be the standard bearer of quality and innovation in the artisan cheese industry while promoting our regional taste of place.”
