Next Market Day

Our next Market Day is happening soon!  Wednesday, October 16th. 

This is the last one for our CSA season, so please take this opportunity to try these quality products produced by or procured locally via Norwich Meadows Farm.

The order form was emailed to each member on September 26.  There are a few additional meat products and packages available this time.

Please print and complete your form and bring it with your payment to drop off at the distribution sign-in table next week (October 2nd).  We will also have a few printed copies at the table, if you wish to fill out the form then.  Or it can be mailed to our PO Box (or dropped off at the UPS Store during their business hours).

All paid orders must be received by Thursday, October 3rd.  This date is based on the farm's deadline for receiving our CSA's total order.

We hope you will partake!
