Greetings from Fresh Start Farms!
Welcome to the first week of the Fall FarmShare! We’re so excited you’ve joined us this season.
Twenty-three new American farmers make up Fresh Start Farms. The farmers represent 7 different countries, speak 13 different languages and grow over 50 varieties of produce. Meet the farmers here! The end of August is when fields are full of all sorts of delicious veggies. This week you’ll see peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, carrots, summer squash, bok choy, and more. Plus, keep your eye out for crops from the farmers’ home countries like amaranth greens, lauki squash, and African eggplant!
On Mondays, you’ll receive your FarmShare customization email at 3pm. You’ll have until 2pm on Tuesday to make changes and add extras to your share. If you have any questions, please reach out!
This week we have a sale on Ben’s Sugar Shack Raw Honey! This all-natural, raw and unprocessed wildflower honey from NH is normally $8 but is on sale for the first week of the share for just $5! We also have 2 new kinds of cheese that are perfect with tomato and basil creations – MapleBrook Farm’s Buratta and Narragansett Creamery’s Ricotta.
