Our Farmers


Rogowski Farm Vegetable Share

We are pleased to be working with The Rogowski Farm is the first Certified Naturally Grown farm in the Town of Warwick located in the "black dirt region" of Pine Island, in Orange County, NY.

Black Dirt is the name given to the dark, extremely fertile soil left over from an ancient glacial lake bottom.

Our farmer, Cheryl Rogowski, will strive to deliver a share of 8 to 10 varieties of vegetables per week. The distribution operates on a bell curve, mostly greens in the beginning of the season, green onions, baby turnips, radishes, etc. As the season progresses the Farm adds summer squashes, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, winter squashes, etc. The harvest calendar gives an idea of the Farm's produce cycle.

You may be surprised to learn that our farmer, Cheryl Rogowski, is the first farmer ever to win a MacArthur Fellowship, an extremely prestigious award.
