FDA TO HOLD PUBLIC INPUT SESSION IN NEW HAMPSHIRE ON PROPOSED FOOD SAFETY RULES

Go tell the FDA that some of these new rules discriminate against small farms!

The event will be hosted by the New Hampshire and Vermont Departments of Agriculture on Tuesday, August 20, 2013 from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM at the Hopkins Center on the campus of Dartmouth College in Hanover.  The session will specifically focus on FDA’s proposed rules for implementing the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), a 2011 law revamping food safety laws to increase the safety of our food supply.  Small farmers across New Hampshire and New England could be substantially impacted by these regulatory overhauls.

Coming to the market from Sanborn Mills Farm this Thursday!

Bean Day at the Market!

Don't forget that Thursday is Bean Day at the Market. Sue and Dan Comte of The Root Seller, an organic farm in Nottingham NH, will offer their recipes and samples of bean dishes made from their 12 varieties of dried beans.
