Greetings from Fresh Start Farms!
Fresh Start Farms has a new website! We hope you’ll explore the new site and don’t forget to check out the new recipe section to get some inspiration on what to do with your FarmShare veggies.
With Father’s Day coming up this weekend, we brought in grain-finished marinated steak tips from Miles Smith Farm! Only $13.59 a pound and quantities are limited, so make sure to grab yours for a delicious barbecue meal this weekend.
We are starting to use insulated liners to keep your food cool in your shares to make sure your veggies are at the highest quality when you receive them. We want to make sure to limit any waste and packaging (each of these liners costs $3) so please make sure to leave the silver insulated liner at your pick-up site or return it to your site/delivery driver. Please return any boxes as well. Thank you!
This week you’ll see lots of lettuce, fresh herbs, garlic scapes, kale, and the last week of asparagus!
