Fresh Start Farms CSA

FS_with_ccFresh Start Farms is a collective of immigrant and refugee farmers who are participating in the NASAP program. 'Fresh Start Farms' growers sell produce to restaurants and grocers, at farmer's markets, and through the CSA. Produce is grown with soil health, environmental well being, and consumer happiness in mind. Although sites are not certified, farmers use organic practices and culturally appropriate growing techniques.
