Receive seasonal vegetables from our upstate New York farm — the same chef-quality produce we grow for restaurants such as Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Per Se, and Jean-Georges.
Beginning after the New Year, our 2027 Winter CSA will include 10 vegetable shares, with pickups every other week. We’re currently finalizing the exact dates and pickup locations.

What is a CSA?
A CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a direct partnership between a farm and its members. At Norwich Meadows Farm, members support the season upfront and receive shares of vegetables harvested directly from our farm.
Each share reflects what’s being harvested at that moment. Some weeks are abundant; others are more focused, depending on the season and the weather. The contents change week to week, offering a true connection to the farm’s growing cycle.
We grow a
wide range of crops
each year—from familiar staples to specialty varieties like Castelfranco radicchio and Tropea onions—delivered fresh from our fields to your kitchen, without middlemen or distribution centers.
How Our NYC Winter CSA Works

Choose a Small or Large vegetable share to suit your household and how much you cook. Each share includes a balanced mix of seasonal vegetables from our farm. Share contents change throughout the winter based on availability.

3. Receive Share Updates
Members receive an email for each pickup outlining what’s included in their share, along with farm news and ideas for using the vegetables.
4. Pick Up and Cook Seasonally
Visit your selected pickup site during the designated window every other week. Your share will be pre-packed and ready to take home. Enjoy cooking with the season’s vegetables and discovering new favorites throughout the winter.

What Makes Our CSA a Little Different
Variety
We grow far more vegetable varieties than a typical farm—hundreds each season. Many are trial or limited-run crops grown with plant breeders, including vegetables from culinary traditions around the world now being cultivated in the United States for the first time. At the same time, our fields remain anchored by the core vegetables people cook with every week.
Shares
Our CSA shares are based on overall value and balance, not on weight or a fixed number of items. Each pickup includes a mix of seasonal vegetables, with contents changing throughout the winter based on what’s available from our farm.

Is CSA Right for You?
A CSA works best for people who enjoy cooking at home and want to eat more seasonally. Each pickup, you’ll receive a selection of vegetables based on what’s being harvested on the farm at that moment—sometimes familiar staples, sometimes things you might not buy on your own.
Many of our members like having a steady rhythm to their food shopping: pickup every other week, less decision-making, and produce that’s already been chosen at peak freshness. If you enjoy planning meals around what you have, rather than shopping from a fixed list, a CSA can fit naturally into your routine.
A CSA may not be the right choice if you want total control over exactly which vegetables you receive each week, or if you prefer on-demand grocery shopping. Our goal is to offer an honest farm share—reflecting the season, the weather, and the realities of growing food—rather than a customized box.
Frequently Asked Questions for Winter CSA
A Winter CSA keeps your connection to the farm going beyond the summer growing season. It brings seasonal vegetables into your kitchen when soups, roasted vegetables, braises, and hearty home cooking feel especially welcome. With pickup every other week, you can plan meals around your share and keep farm vegetables part of your winter routine.
Each share includes a changing selection of vegetables from Norwich Meadows Farm. Winter shares can include roots, potatoes, winter squash, cabbage, alliums, and greens, depending on availability. Some vegetables are harvested during the colder months, while others are stored from the fall harvest for winter eating. Contents vary by pickup.
On rare occasions in the past, we’ve supplemented shares with produce from other farms that share our growing philosophy. This helps us maintain variety when weather affects what we can provide from our own farm. We always let members know when a share includes produce from another farm.
Winter brings its own flavors and textures. Cold weather can bring out sweetness in hardy greens and roots, while vegetables such as squash, potatoes, and cabbage lend themselves to satisfying meals. It’s a season for discovering how much you can do with simple ingredients—roasting, simmering, sautéing, and making a pot of soup for the days ahead.
The season begins after the New Year and includes 10 pickups, held every other week. We’re finalizing the exact dates and will publish the full schedule before registration opens.
You choose your share size, and we select the vegetables based on seasonal availability. Part of the experience is cooking with familiar favorites and trying varieties you might not otherwise bring home.
You can arrange for someone else to collect your share during your scheduled pickup window. Missed shares cannot be refunded or credited. Please check your selected site’s pickup schedule and policies before registering.
A CSA gives you a steady supply of farm-fresh, vegetables grown in Upstate NY, often the same varieties we grow for restaurants. Members get better flavor, more variety, and a more affordable way to enjoy seasonal produce boxes compared to buying vegetables at markets.
Joining a CSA helps small farms stay diverse and financially stable, which is crucial for getting real farm-direct vegetables. Because CSA members commit for the season, farms can plant a wider mix of crops—staples, specialties, and even the unusual varieties we trial—knowing the harvest has a home. That diversity strengthens the regional food system and ensures access to locally grown produce, not just what sells fastest in retail. Your CSA membership helps keep small-scale agriculture thriving for the communities it feeds.
We’re finalizing pickup sites in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx, along with options in New Jersey and at our farm in Norwich, NY. For those who have been asking, we’re also planning pickup at Union Square Greenmarket. Confirmed locations and schedules will be announced before registration opens.
Whether you pick up your share directly from us at a farmers market or at one of our neighborhood CSA groups, you’re part of the same farm community and the same weekly harvest. Members across all these locations receive the same seasonal produce box, which connects different neighborhoods in a simple, meaningful way. Everyone is eating seasonally, supporting local agriculture, and keeping farm-fresh vegetables part of their daily life. That shared experience is what makes a CSA a true community.

What Members Say About Our CSA
"As the organizer of the Forest Hills CSA site partnering with Norwich Meadows Farm, I've seen firsthand how incredible their produce is season after season. The shares are always packed with the freshest, most flavorful vegetables—diverse heirlooms and staples that taste so much better than store-bought! It's a joy facilitating pickups for our community, watching members discover new vegetables and enjoy seasonal, chef-quality veggies while supporting regenerative farming. Couldn't recommend it more!"
Felicia - Forest Hills, CSA Chair
After more than 20 years as a Norwich Meadows Farm CSA member, the thing I appreciate most about CSA hasn’t really changed—it’s the connection we have with our community and NMF. I feel blessed that my sons eat well, understand how food gets to their plates, and that they participate in the process. We’ve learned together how much intention and work goes into each leaf and stem, we taste things we’ve never seen before (and maybe think we don’t like), waste less and share more. And we have beautiful, nutritious food on our plates because of our CSA, our farmers Zaid and Haifa and their amazing team. We are so, so thankful!

“Being part of a CSA gives me the opportunity to try new vegetables, eat healthier and share recipes with others in my community. Nothing better than receiving produce picked the day before and delivered weekly from Norwich Meadows Farm — truly the best!
- Naomi H; Co-chair Hollis Hills Bayside CSA
We are so grateful to have NMF serve our community as the farm provider for Ridgewood Farmshare. The quality and variety is unmatched — at every pick up, members swap techniques and plans for what they’ll make with the week’s produce. Outside of the membership, NMF donates weekly to the food pantry at Ridgewood Commons. Their impact on our neighborhood is clear - our membership continues to grow every season. We love you Norwich!
Natalie - Ridgewood Farmshare
