Manager
Fresh Start Farms is a Incubator Farm that works with immigrants and refugees who are new American farmers to bring sustainable farm-fresh produce. Twenty-three new American farmers make up Fresh Start Farms. Nine farmers are part of the New American Farmers Co-op and grow at Our Farm on Story Hill in Dunbarton, NH. An additional 14 farmers, the Umoja Farmers, grow on land at the St. Paul’s School in Concord, NH. All producers in the Fresh Start Farms collective implement organic practices. While not certified organic, the farmers grow nutrient-dense produce without chemicals and in a way that promotes healthy soil, habitat, and environment. The income the farmers make from New Hampshire farmer's markets is a vital source of income for them.
