Hello everyone,

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:
Share Options:
Variety: The items in each share change on a monthly basis and are determined by what the farmer and local vendors have available. You can see what our sister CSA Washington Square CSA received over a past winter season here. 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)
Make your apartment the best brunch spot in town with New York State maple syrup from Circle C Farms for your summer’s pancakes and waffles.
Place your order before June 13 for guaranteed delivery during the June 28 pickup. Joe and Cathy will also be on hand selling extra sizes. Unfortunately due to a slow sugar season, not all sizes and varieties will be on sale.
There are two varieties for sale: Amber Color & Rich Taste (formerly known as Grade A Medium Amber) and Dark Color & Robust Taste (formerly known as Grade A Dark Amber). Both are popular for all-around use. There is a limited supply of Very Dark Amber, which is ideal for cooking.
The above varieties come in the following sizes: Gallon ($62), Half Gallon ($35), Quart ($21), Pint ($13), Half Pint ($8), and 3.4 oz. ($4.50)

Hello everyone,
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 two (3) types of Winter shares: Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian, Vegan Vegetarian, and Omnivore (see descriptions below).
