KATCHKIE FARM and CSA Signup Day 2/26

The Second Annual National Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Signup Day is a countrywide celebration of community-supported agriculture during which CSAs are offering incentives to sign on for the 2016 season. It is being held this Friday, Feb. 26.

For New York City, Katchkie Farm CSA will give everyone who signs up on the 26th a jar of Katchkie Farm's famous tomato jam. This offer is available to former members, last year's members or first timers. Plus, there's a new and first-in-NYC add-on for the 2016 season - bountiful meals prepared by Great Performances, the city's premier catering and food service company, featuring organic Katchkie Farm vegetables.

Katchkie Farm is a year round organic farming operation located in Columbia County, New York that Great Performances established in 2007 as a catering industry first. It represents Great Performances' commitment to celebrating local flavors, as well as an investment in sustainable agriculture and good earth practices.

Another element that separates Katchkie Farm's from the CSA pack is that there is a program for delivering vegetables to member's offices, in addition to the traditional pick-up model. There are three locations in New York City: at GP's Mae Mae Café, on at 68 Vandam Street; Haven's Kitchen at 109 W. 17th Street and the Signature Theater at 480 W. 42nd Street.
