We envision a resilient and connected community where everyone is empowered to access healthy food, where farmers are supported and the land is nourished, and where all neighbors share a common sense of place. We are on a mission is to reinvigorate our community within a restorative local food system by cultivating food sovereignty, growing engaged learners, and nurturing community.

It's midterm election day! Time to get out there and exercise our right to vote.

This day is about casting a ballot for for who you think is best suited to act on behalf of the public's interest in office on the state and federal level.

Beyond voting, there is so much we can do to engage with our local communities and help provide the services, resources, and conditions for all neighbors to thrive. Our elected officials are just one piece of that puzzle.

So, vote today and let's keep working on all the ways that we can invest in food, farm, and nutrition security for the Kearsarge Region. It does rely on Community Supported Agriculture beyond the CSA box, and that means there's a role for everyone!

Walk into any supermarket and your first reaction might be: “WOW, look at all these choices!”

But want to know something really scary? 👻👻👻

Just 10 companies own the bulk of grocery store foods, mostly relying on a handful of commodity crops.

Our local food system offers a rich, meaningful alternative. We all know summer is abundant, but you might be surprised by what you can find from local and regional farmers and food producers all year long!

Eating locally in New Hampshire means connecting with the natural rhythm of the seasons. It nourishes our connections, keeps dollars in our local economy, and builds a more resilient community.

As the holidays approach, choosing local when and where we can makes a huge difference on so many levels.

Shop with us at Sweet Beet Market + Café Market + Cafe (now taking Thanksgiving orders!), sign up for a winter CSA, or find a nearby winter farmers market (they exist!)

Join us for Love Local next Thursday to catch the premiere a short film featuring local farms Alprilla Farm, Edgewater Farm and Brookford Farm, and explore all the ways they nourish our community.

There are a few spots left to come in person or tune into the live broadcast. Learn more: www.bit.ly/LoveLocal26 or link in bio!

Big thanks to the continued efforts of NH Food Alliance in stewarding an ever-growing network of food system stakeholders and moving the food and agriculture strategic plan forward.

KFH is grateful to have a seat at the table alongside many inspiring food and farm businesses and organizations of all kinds working to making farming and food production viable in NH, expand food and nutrition security, and create a regenerative and resilient food system.

It’s a real effort to get all of us rowing in the same direction and it’s a worthwhile endeavor that supports our individual work and collective vision.

We are invigorated by this week’s strategy retreat and feeling hopeful for what the future holds!

We’re so excited to share what the KFH team has been working on for this year‘s Love Local event with you on November 5th!

We’ve really taken things up a notch by bringing in film support from Ethan Hirsch to make one beautiful, short film highlighting our local farms and the vital role they play in the resilience of our community.

The film will feature Sophie and Noah of Alprilla Farm, Jenny and Ray of Edgewater Farm, and Luke of Brookford Farm, and will show us a glimpse of what it takes to grow food in New Hampshire and how we all can be a part of a thriving local food economy.

We know from working with these farmers to stock the shelves of Sweet Beet Market + Café Market that they consistently grow and make nourishing, tasty foods.

After visiting these farms and putting together the film, we have been reinvigorated by the way they also hold our community together in more ways than one: They are stewarding the land day in and day out, doing whatever it takes to grow the best foods they can, and sharing them generously with the community while thinking about what we are leaving for future generations.

As Noah from Alprilla Farm says in the film, there are farmers and there are eaters and there should be no barriers between them. We are all part of this community and we are all connected through the food that we share.

Come watch with us and connect with the feature farmers through a panel discussion on November 5th.

The FEED Kearsarge Coalition has made significant progress toward greater food and nutrition security for our region through collaboration.

One area that coalition partners have identified as an opportunity for growth is in gleaning and food recovery.

Tons of fresh, perfectly good food are rotting in our region's fields and dumpsters right now, while thousands of our neighbors go hungry. We just need to move it safely to people who need it.

Seems simple, but there's a lot that goes into recovering and distributing food safely, as one Food Security Summit attendee realized "It's much harder to get gleaned food from farms to people's tables than I had thought.”

That's why we are investing into two positions to make a plan and bridge the gap between supply and demand:

- A Gleaning and Food Recovery Project Director to map the channels and make the plan (6-month contracted position)
- A Farmer Advocate to figure out this all works into their business model, and what other resources they need to thrive (full time position at KFH)

Learn more about these positions at www.kearsargefoodhub.org/employment
Submit cover letter and resume to [email protected] by Oct. 30th.

This project is in collaboration with Kearsarge Neighborhood Partners and generously funded by the Helen Gurley Brown Foundation.

We are very excited to report that over 1,200 lbs have been harvested at KFH's educational garden sites this year and sent directly into the Community FREEdge.

The KFH education team has been hard at work all season long maintaining gardens at Sunset Hill Educational Institute, Kearsarge Community Common, Simonds and Bradford Elementary Schools of the Kearsarge District. Their growing food and, of course, bringing kids out to the garden to share essential skills and help them build connected with nature.

We want to thank Secondwind Water Systems, Inc. for renewing their annual Sustainability Sponsorship that directly support food security efforts like this.

With their generous, ongoing support, not only are growing more food for the Community FREEdge that people can access when they it, but we are actively growing the next generation of farmers, land stewards, and mindful food eaters.

We're currently diving head first into planning for 2027 to deepen the impact of these vital programs and the connections between education, farm security, and food sovereignty. Stay tuned!

97% of the food we eat here in New Hampshire travels an average distance of 1,500 miles to get to our plates.

We all know from the COVID pandemic that we are one crisis away from empty grocery stores when supply chains are disrupted and food can't get to us.

We can't just be thinking about local food security when crisis hits; we need to invest in our local farms today.

Because farm security IS food security for the Kearsarge Region.

Alprilla Farm, Edgewater Farm, and Brookford Farm are three local farms that provide a variety of staple foods from the summer produce to winter veggies to dairy products. They're not just growing nutritious foods, but also vital connections with the land and in our community.

On November 5th, come out to the Bradford Town Hall to watch a short film featuring these three farms to go behind the scenes and discover how we can build a stronger, more equitable and sustainable local food system together.

The evening will also feature a panel with the farmers and delicious food from Sweet Beet Cafe. It's going to be an inspirational and actionable night of community connections. Don't miss it!!
