Welcome
At F.R.E.S.H. (Food: Resources, Education, Security, Health in New London) we work to transform the food system from what it is to what it ought to be: healthful, universally accessible, sustainable, just and beautiful!
FRESH began in 2004 with a belief that public health, social justice and ecological sustainability are inextricably linked.
The city of New London is our home base and the focus of our efforts to build a vibrant local food system and a model of a food secure community. In the midst of this, we recognize the need to unite urban and rural people, resources & needs in order to make the progressive change we envision.
F.R.E.S.H. New London is a holistic response to hunger, malnutrition and food insecurity. We promote and build local resources to meet local needs. We pursue our mission through food and agriculture projects, in the fields of: experiential education for ecological literacy and health; training for community and individual self-reliance; promotion of improved community management of natural resources; economic opportunities through local agriculture (including youth entrepreneurship); innovative distribution and marketing of locally grown food; and cultivation of the next generation of youth leaders.
FRESH programs range from intensive summer and year round employment and training of New London teens, garden based education programs for children, community gardens, the FRESH Farm, marketing and donation of fresh produce and more. Please explore our site and find out what’s good at FRESH!
