The Winter season is significantly different from our Regular season, so please read the following information carefully. Email any questions about Winter Share to info@grandstreetcsa.org, and a core member will get back to you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is in Winter Share?

The Winter Share keeps us supporting Norwich Meadows year round and reminds us that local food doesn't end with the regular growing season. Shares consist of storage crops, like roots and winter greens, dry beans, and a variety of dairy and value-added products from local farmers. Produce is grown in Norwich, New York. The Winter Season is designed to send the farm crucial startup funds to cover the cost of seed, equipment, repairs, materials, etc. Our Winter pickups are from December through May (6 pick-ups). We offer three (3) types of Winter shares: Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian, Vegan Vegetarian, and Omnivore (see descriptions below). We are also offering frozen shares from The Farm Bridge (formerly Winter Sun Farms). Details below.

When do I pick up Winter Share?

Winter Share will be distributed every three to six weeks for a total of 6 pick-ups*. Frozen shares are distributed during the first 5 dates. The dates scheduled* are as follows:

12/12, 1/23, 3/6, 3/27, 4/17, 5/8

*In cases of severe weather, members will be notified as soon as possible of changes in the distribution date. We have elected to bypass February distribution due to past difficulties related to severe weather and site logistics.

Pickup time:

Winter distribution, like the summer/fall this year, will be Tuesday 5:15pm-8pm at the Abrons Art Center. Pick up will continue to be outdoors except on days weather is too severe for either people or vegetables.

As during our regular season, due to lack of storage, missed pickups cannot be compensated or refunded. Leftovers will be donated to St. Mary's Church immediately after distribution.

Volunteer Requirement:

All members will be required to sign up for 1-2 volunteer shifts depending on the number of members. We will contact members after registration closes to confirm the number of required shifts and instructions for signing up.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Share Options & Pricing:

We are offering 3 share options from Norwich Meadows Farm and a frozen share from The Farm Bridge (see below).

Norwich Meadows Farm Shares

The LACTO-OVO VEGETARIAN SHARE includes produce, dairy and eggs, no meat. This share weighs about 20-25 lbs per pickup and fills approximately 2-3 regular canvas bags.

The VEGAN VEGETARIAN SHARE is a vegetarian share without any animal products, such as eggs, or dairy. This share weighs about 25-30 lbs per pickup and fills approximately 2-4 regular canvas bags.

The OMNIVORE SHARE includes produce, dairy, eggs, ground beef and chicken. This share weighs about 15-20 lbs per pickup and fills approximately 2 regular canvas bags.

Variety: The items in each share change on a monthly basis and are determined by what the farmer and local vendors have available. In addition to receiving storage crops (carrots, turnips, radishes, beets, rutabaga & other roots, potatoes, onions), hearty greens, and preserved items (frozen squash, tomato sauce, pickled vegetables), locally produced pasta, dry beans & flour may be included.

A typical distribution would look something like the following:

Sample December Omnivore share:
(Lacto-ovo vegetarian share gets additional veggies and no meat)
Potatoes - 2.25 lbs Carrots - 2.5 lbs Garlic - 1/3 lb
Winter squash - 1 Onions - 1.5 lbs Cabbage - 1 head
Eggs - 1 dozen Chicken - 1/2 Cooking greens - 3/4 lb
1 Preserved product (jar of tomato puree, pickled beets, pickled peppers or pickled green tomatoes)

You can see what our sister CSA Washington Square CSA received over a past winter season here.

All Norwich Meadows Farm share options cost $305 and includes a $5 administrative fee. All share items, including produce, added value products (e.g. granola, pickles, tomato sauce), dairy, and meat are from Norwich Meadows Farm and neighboring farms. One (1) share provides enough food for 1-3 individuals depending on your diet, goals and cooking style. Animal products have a higher production cost, so even though the three (3) share types have different weights, they are all equal in value.

The FARM BRIDGE Frozen Share:

www.TheFarmBridgeShares.com

The Farm Bridge Shares partners with local sustainable farms to supply a winter share of great tasting frozen fruits and vegetables all winter long. Their goal is to deliver a superior product at a fair price for you and the farmer.

In your share, you'll receive locally-grown frozen fruit and veggies from December to April. Some of the items you may receive include: summer corn, green beans, blueberries, kale, broccoli florets, tomato (jarred), and butternut squash puree. Many sites receive a bag of fresh pea shoots as part of the seven monthly items. This share must be purchased separately online, in addition to registering with Grand Street CSA. Sign up online at the following link:

http://thefarmbridgeshares.csasignup.com/members/types

COST:
$152 for 5 distributions (the first five dates above)
The registration Deadline for Farm Bridge is December 1st.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXTRAS:

Extras are optional, but you must register for a Vegan, Lacto-Ovo, Omnivore or Frozen share in order to get extras. The registration form will open soon. Payment must be received by Wednesday, November 15th.

We are offering, apples, and apple cider as extras. Because our vendors require a minimum purchase, availability and cost will depend on interest. If we are unable to meet the minimum order for any of these items, you will receive a refund for any extras we are not able to purchase.

We'll share info on Fulton Fish Market shares, smoked salmon and Lewis Waite Farms when available.

A message from Norwich Meadows Farm

2017-07-10T10:49:00.000-04:00

Greetings CSA Members,

Last week at the farm we were been busy bringing in a bumper crop of garlic, to be stored and dried for later in the season. We also had a delivery of trial kale seed from Cornell, which is being trialed for all sorts of traits, like heat/cold tolerance, disease resistance, yield & taste. Some of our heirloom tomato plants are starting to bear fruit, too, although it may still be a few weeks before we're hitting full production.

In this week's shares (the week of July 10th), expect some of the following veggies, depending on what's available:

Squash
Cucumber
Mix Greens
Fennel
Fava Beans
Lettuce
Kohlrabi
Carrots
Garlic Scape
Onion

As always you can also find these updates on the Norwich Meadows Farm CSA Facebook Group.

Have a great week!

~ Jamie from Norwich Meadows Farm

A few things:

- We are going to have a Meet The Farmer Night with Zaid Kurdieh from Norwich Meadow Farms. It will be Sunday, March 8th at 3 pm in the Seward Park Community Room (268 East Broadway). Come and join us and get all your CSA questions answered!

- If you signed up for an Early Bird Share, disregard the amount due in the email confirmation you will receive. We will send you a second email with the adjusted amount.

- At this time, we are asking all members to sign up for two work shifts, but may need to increase this to three, depending on how many members sign up. We will updated everyone once we close registration.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to email us at info@grandstreetcsa.org.

Looking forward to seeing you March 8th!
