November 2023 Newsletter: Gratitude Grows Here:Thanks for your support to beginning and small-scale farmers! The fields this year have not only yielded crops, but also stories of determination, growth, and community. Together, we’ve sown the seeds of positive change, creating pathways for improved nutrition while supporting the livelihoods of our beginning, veterans, historically underserved and local small – scale farmers.

October 2023 Newsletter: Cultivating Change: The Power of Innovation in Farming! As another fantastic Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) season comes to a close, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our supporters who made possible the delivery of fresh, local produce every week to our diverse communities. Your patronage of our CSA program meant direct support to beginning and small-scale farmers who are building their production and marketing skills. With the end of our weekly CSA deliveries for 2023, and paraphrasing Ed Latimore, we would also like to express our gratitude for helping our thoughtful beginner farmers to become “graceful masters”!

September 2023 Newsletter: Kidness blooms Kidness! As the crisp autumn air settles in, we prepare to bid farewell to yet another fruitful harvest season. For months this season, our beginning producers and local farmers have poured their blood, sweat, and tears into nurturing their precious crops, caring for the soil, and harvesting and delivering nature's abundance to local consumers. Wrapping up a harvest season is not just about the practical aspects; it also carries a sentimental significance, the conclusion of a harvest season prompts farmers to express their gratitude to the land, Mother Nature, and their loyal customers. It's a time to express thankfulness not only for the harvest but also for the unwavering support of the local community.

August 2023 Newsletter: Celebrating 25 Years of Cultivating New Farmers:Thriving and Adapting! On September 23rd we are bringing the table to the farm! This year, our traditional celebration of another bountiful growing season with our incubator and small-scale farmers also marks New Entry’s 25 years of service!  For the past two and a half decades, we have connected people with ethically grown food, beautiful flowers, and innovative farming practices!

July 2023 Newsletter: Growing local vegetables, herbs, and flowers: A joyful and fruitfuld endeavor! “A typical day of a small-scale farmer comes with the challenges of balancing planning, production, and market opportunities, mitigating extreme heat, coolness, heavy rains and making sure CSA customers have a diverse offering of vegetables. But along with this also comes the rewards of farming businesses cumulative experience, being able to grow food day in day out, see the changes through the seasons, some of them even day by day, see the fields and woods come alive, and mainly getting to know the customers, their diverse backgrounds, interests and what drives them to sign up for Community Supported Agriculture.” (Graham Ball, Ramblin Roots Market Garden)

June 2023 Newsletter: For Perfect Days of Summer: Eat well and Dance Often! “The connections farming sparks between people and food feel like the way a dance performance seeks to impact its audience… both good food and art nourish body and soul, encouraging us to eat well and dance often!” (Daniela Aldrich, Dancing Harvest Farm)

May 2023 Newsletter: Advancing Leaders Through Opportunity! By promoting diverse and inclusive food systems At New Entry, we promote diverse and inclusive food systems, by providing opportunities for leaders from all backgrounds and those from underserved communities, to join our efforts to build resilient food systems.

April 2023 Newsletter: Small-Scale Farmers are Leading the Way: for Healthier People and Planet! The urgency for sustainable changes in human activities creating climate disruptions, are in fact needed now more than ever. And farmers, particularly small-scale, organic and regenerative producers are leading the way for sustainable production of food that is as good for people as it is for the planet’s health. As we celebrate Earth Day this month, please keep this in mind when signing-up for a CSA – Farm Share, visiting a farmers’ market, supporting a food access program or sourcing food from local farmers.  Good farming practices can be part of the solution!

March 2023 Newsletter: Growing Women-led Sustainable Farm Businesses: a beautiful thing to celebrate! March is Women's history month, and it’s a beautiful thing to celebrate the vital role of women in leadership, particularly in American (and worldwide) farming businesses. For over 25 years, New Entry has stewarded the thriving and noble entrepreneurial mindset of beginning farmers working for a more equitable food system. We are specially proud of our women-farmers, that have grown from aspiring to seasoned suppliers of food, flowers, and other sustainably produced agricultural products.

February 2023 Newsletter: Showing love through through a common language: Healthy Food! At New Entry, we can’t help thinking about the universality of showing love through food. There’s something magical in all the thoughtfulness that goes into planning, preparing, and sharing meals - around these February celebrations and through every day living. Magic accentuated by knowing the food we are bringing to the table has been locally and sustainably produced. The burst of flavors, the creativity of keeping ancestral traditions and utilizing traditional staples, while keeping up with modern culinary trends, is just priceless.

January 2023 Newsletter: Planting a Promising Future: Growing a deeper appreciation for the food on our tables and our local farmers! “The beauty of New Entry is that it’s not just conceptual. This is a working farm, training a new generation of farmers—including many recent immigrants—right here in our region.” (Trisha Pérez Kennealy, New Entry's superstar supporter)
