AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO SCHEDULE 13D
Amendment No. 1 to the Statement on Schedule 13D (the
"Statement"), dated March 27, 2000 of DiMare Homestead, Inc., a company
organized under the laws of the State of Florida ("DiMare"), is hereby amended
as set forth below. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the

The purpose of this Amendment No. 2 to the Statement
("Amendment No. 2") is to disclose the increase in the percentage of the class
of equity securities beneficially owned by DiMare, from 6.5% to 7.8%, with
respect to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common
Stock"), of Fresh America Corp ("Fresh America"). Except as specifically
provided herein, this Amendment No. 2 does not modify any of the information
previously reported in the Statement, and should be read in conjunction with,
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, such Statement.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The source of funds used to purchase the shares of Common
Stock (the "Shares") of Fresh America was derived from the working capital of
DiMare. The aggregate amount of such funds to which this Amendment No. 2
relates, including commissions, was $258,065.21, thus, increasing the total
aggregate amount of funds used to purchase the Shares to $1,779,168.72.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of Issuer.
