According to the farm in Upstate New York, the fire caused significant damage to its main barn. No one was injured. The barn played a central role in daily operations, housing washing and packing areas, refrigeration, equipment storage, and other essential systems that help move food from the fields to markets, restaurants, and community partners.
For decades, Norwich Meadows Farm has supplied produce to New York City farmers' markets, CSA members, restaurants, and food access organizations.
In response to outreach from customers, chefs and community members asking how to help, a GoFundMe campaign has been launched to support short-term and transitional recovery efforts. Funds are intended to help cover temporary measures and related expenses as the farm works toward stabilization and rebuilding.

That is so sad. Wishing them the best.
ReplyDeleteThat sucks! Samascott Orchards had a fire recently too, maybe last year? But I hate to see any of our farmers struggle. Good luck getting it back together guys!
ReplyDeleteWe wish them all the best and sure they'll recover, but when crowd funding is concern, we take into consideration that they're the most expensive produce tent in every green market they're taking part in. Most of the time we can't even afford them.
