Greetings from Fresh Start Farms!

The 9 new American farmers that grow food in Dunbarton (meet all of the farmers here) are still harvesting squash, winter greens, celery, scallions, herbs, lettuce, arugula, salad mix and more. Thanks to local partner farms, we have a large variety to choose from this week including beautiful white cauliflower, broccoli, microgreens, spinach, mushrooms, squash, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

Dairy Items
From the northern reaches of France comes the origin of our Coulommiers-style cheese and thicker ancestor to Brie, and the name itself, Lillé. Handmade in small batches, each wheel is a slightly different weight. Aged in its own special room, and lovingly turned regularly, the delicate rind develops evenly with a white downy bloom. This decadently sumptuous soft-ripened cheese has a supple paste core enveloped by a rich creamy body and reveals a subtle mushroom nuance with notes of nut and butter. The rind gives a nice salty bite versus the delicate interior.
Vermont Farmstead Cheese Company gently cares for their land (in South Woodstock VT) and the lives of their animals to make fresh, quality, and artisan cheese available to all.
Cold-smoked over hickory wood in the classic Vermont tradition, this natural raw artisanal Smoked Cheddar comes to life somewhere between creamy, savory and proud. With hints of salt and bacon, this sixty-day recipe is one of our best sellers, with enough grit as is, melted, or on a sandwich.
Founded in 1890, Plymouth is a family-run cheese factory in Vermont. They use only the finest, pasture-rased raw cow’s milk — free of additives, antibiotics and rBST — sourced from a single dairy herd from a sustainable, seventh-generation family farm 40 minutes up the road.

Stew Meat from Robie Farm for a delicious fall stew!
Robie Farm meat is humane, growth hormone-free, all-natural, and local (HGAL) and produced at a small family farm in Piermont, NH. From spring to fall, their head of Normande cows graze day and night on lush grass and during the winter months, they are fed hay and are supplemented with protein-rich grain.
New! Red's Best Haddock
Red’s Best, out of Boston, brings 100% traceable, Atlantic caught seafood to New England. Red’s Best supports a network of local fishermen through processing, transportation, and distribution.
