In late August, farmers start to feel the effects of the season. Peak summer means many exhausting weeks on a hot dry farm with long days and big harvests. Battling weeds and pests can feel like a losing battle. At this time in the season, connection to the individuals eating and enjoying the food the farmers grow provides a much-needed boost in energy and focus.
If you would like to share your appreciation with your Fresh Start farmers, share a photo of meals you cook with your vegetables and your words of appreciation on Facebook or Instagram (don’t forget to tag us!) or send an email to [email protected]. The farmer love to hear from you!
Here is Prem with some amazingly large cabbage and Asli with her first harvest of tomatoes!
Don't forget your cooler!
Don't forget to put your coolers out for home delivery! Please make sure it is of sufficient size to fit your share. Even an hour in the heat will compromise the quality of your veggies.
Dunbarton Farm Solar Project
A solar array is in progress on the Dunbarton farm! The energy produced by the solar panels will provide power for the farms, the Food Hub, and Fresh Start Farmers’ homes!
In the next few weeks, tree clearing and site work will start. Following a ground survey in mid-September, the Revision Energy Foundation team will be on-site to start driving the earth screws for the solar racking. Through October, a commercial electrical contractor will start working on building the array. Once Eversource installs transformers and brings the panels onto the grid, the power will be ready to use!
