"Norwich Meadows is one of the farms that supplies Gramercy Tavern with a significant amount of its fresh produce. An owner, Zaid Kurdieh, has been collaborating with Anthony for over a decade." - The MICHELIN Guide
"A 20-year market veteran, Norwich Meadows offers a huge variety of produce that appeals to chefs, but it’s not at the Wednesday Union Square market year-round; some chefs note it sells there on Saturdays, when the market tends to feel more like a tourist attraction." - Regina Schrambling
"One of the market’s most prominent operations, already equipped with a refrigerated truck so it’s less affected by the new temperature rules, but mindful that smaller farms will struggle with compliance. The owner has pursued collaborations with high-profile chefs — including Dan Barber of Blue Hill and René Redzepi of Noma — to create distinctive products and attract customers in a crowded marketplace, and says guiding peers through the regulatory changes will take time and patience." - Chris Crowley
"A Chenango County farm whose owner has become indispensable to New York chefs by growing exceptionally high-quality cabbage varieties (notably caraflex and Savoy) with sweet, juicy leaves and providing that quality at a consistency and scale few other Greenmarket vendors can match. The farm’s reliability turned it into a status crop for cooks, inspired mutual aid during COVID when chefs helped staff the stand, and even prompted local businesses to loan space for packing and deliveries." - The Editors
"A farm led by Zaid Kurdieh that confronted massive surplus after restaurants shut down — facing as much as 500,000 pounds of root vegetables in storage — then pivoted to direct-to-consumer sales, moving up to 2,000 à la carte produce boxes per week on an online platform and seeing doubled or tripled sales at smaller neighborhood markets, ultimately nearly matching a best-ever pre-pandemic year while keeping staff employed." - Rachel Sugar
