Happy Spring (not summer till June 21st)!
Today is the first day of Green Thumb CSA – Huntington’s
2017 Season!
What you need to know…
Before you leave the house…BRING BAGS to pack
up your food (CSA members are responsible for packing up their own share) –
canvas/plastic/paper…bring whatever suits your fancy. The CSA does NOT provide
bags for CSA members.
Time – 3:30pm to 7:30pm
IF you need to pick up later than 7:30pm, call the Cinema
Arts Center Box Office between 3pm to 7:30pm at 631-423-7610 xt 0 and we can
pack a bag for you and leave it at the Box Office but it MUST be picked up by
10pm. If not, it won’t be there on Friday.
Place – Sky Room Café at the Cinema Arts
Centre at 423 Park Ave, Huntington
Parking – park in the all the way around at
the back of the building by the day care center (you’ll see a fenced in
playground area with a sandbox)
When you arrive at the CSA –
1.
Check in at the desk with our friendly CSA
worker
2.
Read the Wall Chart that tells us every week
what we’re getting, how much we’re getting, and what the farm charged us for
it…some weeks it’s take one of everything but SOME WEEKS IT’S NOT!!! So you
have to make sure you read the Wall Chart every week, and not assume anything.
You can also ask your fellow CSA members that are working that day what the
story is for the day (they should have name tags on).
Before you leave the CSA – Make sure you have
everything on the list! If you get to talking with people, have kids with you,
etc., it can be easy to be distracted and if you get home and find out you
don’t have everything that was on the list, you’re out of luck because at
7:31pm the food is donated to a local food organization that’s waiting to pick
it up and get on their way.
The list…this is a general list and you’ll be sent another
email within the next week with the detailed list after I get it (which isn’t
till the day of the CSA…the list is subject to change without notice because
farming is like that! However, most of the time it’s accurate and if it’s not…usually only one food
item will be changed )…
Week #1
June 1, 2017
1.
Lettuce, Baby
2.
Spinach
3.
Oregano – 1 bunch
4.
Leeks – 1 bunch
5.
Mustard Greens – 1 bunch
Flower Share…maybe, maybe not…they weren’t sure at the farm
so we’ll all be finding out tomorrow one way or the other
Total Items: 5
Total Amount: $19.75 (will give you the breakdown next email
BUT this is $1.25 over what we pay for our CSA Share… which is $18.50 per
week…and it adds up over the course of the season so we usually end up with at
least one entire share’s worth of extra produce that our farmer just gives us
and we didn’t pay for and don’t have to pay for…lucky us!)
Enjoy!
