Kearsarge Food Hub

As the sun shines and the January freeze bites at our noses, we’re celebrating ten amazing years at the Kearsarge Food Hub!

From our humble beginnings at Sweet Beet Farm Stand, our journey has been fueled by the unwavering support of our loving community, passionate supporters, and dedicated team.

There is so much to reflect on as we near the end of another incredible, dynamic, and yes, challenging, year here at the Kearsarge Food Hub.

Join us in reflecting on the past year.

We’re all smiles reflecting on this 2024’s Season of Gratitude & Giving, feeling the love and the solidarity with an incredible community of supporters!!

In 2024, the Abenaki Seeds Project celebrated its 4th year in the Kearsarge Area, and the impact continues to deepen with each year.

The 4th Annual Love Local event here at the Kearsarge Food Hub focused on folks in the middle of the food chain.

Tray it Forward is a project that began in the spring of 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to help folks grow their own food and connect around gardening.

As we observe Indigenous Peoples Day, we share our deepest gratitude to the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation and their generous efforts sharing Indigenous heritage and knowledge with the community.

2023 was a particularly challenging growing season for New England farmers and food ​​producers, given the extreme weather events across the region and increasingly unpredictable weather patterns.

Dear community, thank you so much for an absolutely incredible 4th Annual Community Fair!

When we support local food and farming operations, we are contributing to a more resilient and connected community where all neighbors are empowered to access healthy local food, local farmers are supported and the land is nourished, and all people share a common sense of place!

August is NH Eats Local month here in New Hampshire, a time to celebrate all things local food in the Granite State!

We’re celebrating the incredible service of Charles Kelsey on the Kearsarge Food Hub Board of Directors, as he steps down from his position as Board Chair.

As the agricultural landscape continues to evolve, and pressure from industrial scale agriculture makes it increasingly difficult for small scale operations, small farm businesses are constantly seeking innovative ways to thrive and differentiate themselves.

Prior to the spring of 2020, little was known about food security rates for transgender+ and LGB+ individuals throughout the United States. Little was known because it was not measured.

After half a decade of serving the surrounding community, it is a great time to take a stroll through memory lane and recount the growth (pun intended) of the Tray it Forward project! 

We’re back with Professor Leon Malan in the Colby-Sawyer College permaculture garden where he takes us from compacted lawn to a fertile garden space that’s ready for your seedlings.
