About the Farm
Background
For more than twenty years, Norwich Meadows Farm has been a staple at farmers' markets around the region, including the historic Union Square Farmers Market and other New York City Greenmarkets. They are known for their commitment to providing fresh produce to both top chefs and home cooks. The farm also donates food through programs like Grow Cook Serve, which provides fresh local produce to income-restricted individuals and families.
Practices
Norwich Meadows Farm employs organic and regenerative farming practices, focusing on soil health, crop diversity, and the use of high tunnels. They are part of the New York Grown & Certified program, ensuring the availability of fresh, nutritious food at affordable prices in underserved areas. Their farming philosophy emphasizes the interconnectedness of farming practices, ecology, and human health.
The Rest
Norwich Meadows Farm is actively involved in community outreach through farmers' markets, CSA boxes, and educational programs. They collaborate with various organizations like 4-H, SNAP-ED, HeadStart, WIC, and local schools to offer cooking, nutrition, and gardening education. In New York City, they participate in initiatives like the Two Bridges Youth Farmers' Market and Chefs for Impact, combining food access with celebrating diverse foodways and enhancing nutritional knowledge.
