Greetings from Fresh Start Farms!
Week 2 of the Summer FarmShare is bringing all things green! We have lots of beautiful asparagus from Peachblow Farm in Charlestown, NH, organic swiss chard, collard greens, and kale bunches from Harlow Farm. Plus organic rhubarb from Deep Roots Organic. Rhubarb and asparagus season are super short, so get it while it’s here!
The Dunbarton farmers have so much to harvest this week! Scallions from Fadumo and Khamis, leeks from Khadija, red radishes from Hajiya, garlic scapes from Isha and Sidi, bok choy and lettuce from Asli and Isho, and arugula and salad mix from Sylvain!
There are two unique veggies to enjoy this week! From Stout Oak Farm, Yukina Savoy, an Asian green that is tender and creamy and delicious both raw and cooked. They are quite mild and a wonderful addition to salads, stir-fries, soups, or most anything. Purple radishes, from Picadilly Farm, have a milder taste than their red counterpart and are perfect for salads.
There are a number of new items available this week! Tomato Basil Crackers from Jack’s Crackers, Caramelized Onion and Red Pepper Sauce from Terra Cotta Pasta Co., Moosalamoo Cheese from Blue Ledge Farm and Organic Triple Cream soft cheese from Champlain Creamery. Plus, lemonade from Carlson Orchards!

During our research phase, it became very popular; with numerous requests being received to get access to them! These are great by themselves, with some smoked mozzarella, hummus, or even with a little tuna. Yes, tuna. You gotta try it.
