Downtown New York's NEW AMSTERDAM MARKET

provisions / NEW AMSTERDAM MARKET

It is with great sadness that we will not be continuing our CSA this 2010 Season with Norwich Meadows Farm. We started the CSA here 2 years ago because there were no FARMER'S MARKETS down here and we wanted to help support a local Farm and bring Organic Veggies to our area.

We currently participate in the NEW AMSTERDAM MARKET and unfortunately it is too much for our litttle Shop to do both. The NEW AMSTERDAM MARKET is a monthly Market located on South Street & Beekman, near the Seaport. We are working with them to bring the Market down here on a weekly basis and we hope you will help us support this very important Market which supports many, many Farms within the Tri-State area and has invigorated Lower Manhattan with a much needed Organic Market for our local residents.

The NEW AMSTERDAM MARKET should begin again in May 2010. You can go to their website http://www.newamsterdammarket.org/ for more info on them and to make a donation if you'd like. They will be having a Fundraiser soon and we will keep you all posted on that.

If you would like to write an actual letter (no e-mails) to support this market and convey your thoughts, please write to:
