Fresh Start Farms
Happy New Year! 2023 is here, and we are excited for the year ahead! Our team is growing here at the Food Hub: we have welcomed a new Food Safety Manager and hope to have a Food Access Coordinator on-board soon! Both of these positions will help immensely in ensuring an even more effective farm season. Additionally, our Program Director, Jameson, will be out on medical leave for several weeks–please join us in sending him good thoughts for a smooth procedure and recovery!
We are also excited that our NASAP team will be hosting farmer debrief meetings on the following two weekends, which will provide an essential opportunity for the farmers to voice their reflections on the season past and what they hope we can improve on this year to come!

“Here’s a simple, robust, cold-weather soup that you can make with almost any mixture of root vegetables you have to hand: carrots, parsnips, celery root, turnips, rutabaga, sweet or regular potato. Flavored with garlic, rosemary and bay leaves on top of a saute of onions and celery, it’s an earthy, sweet, and warming meal for days where the air has some bite. Top with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice, some grated cheese, flaky salt and a shower of black pepper.”

Atlantic pollock is firm white fish with a sweet, delicate flavor profile that is less flaky than cod or haddock lending itself as a perfect option for stews, cioppino and chowders. Substitute pollock for recipes calling for cod, hake or haddock!
