Happy Summer!
If you didn’t get an email regarding working at the CSA this week,
you’re not on the schedule.
Please read #4 within #6 π as
there’s new information you need to be aware of. The other week someone left a
message with someone at the Box Office (which I’ve recommended not doing even
if the person at the Box Office insists π) and the person at the Box Office got it
wrong, so the person who called almost didn’t get their CSA Share (it was a
fluke…or providence or karma, etc., that it worked out for them). And someone
else tried calling the other week and either the phone wasn’t picked up after
repeated calls, or someone picked up the phone and put the phone down and
didn’t pick it back up again. As I mention, it’s not the job of the Box Office
staff to take calls for the CSA but since there’s no option to contact the CSA
otherwise, and maybe 3 people at most will call, it doesn’t seem terribly
onerous to have them pick up the phone and transfer the calls to the CafΓ© for
us to answer as a courtesy to a group that’s encouraging Cinema membership.
Do any of you out there have children, or grandchildren, who are
involved with the Girl Scouts? If so, read #3 and let me know!
Save the date! Sunday, August 16th,
from 2pm to 6pm, we’re having our first CSA Pot Luck Pool Party in
Greenlawn (all CSA Members and CSA Share Partners invited…family friendly –
bring the kids/grandkids…all dietary lifestyles welcome)!
CSA weather report…
Warm (70s)
Do NOT leave your CSA Shares in your car! They
will not be happy, and neither will you when your food doesn’t last as long as
it could. Over 40 degrees in your car and your CSA Share’s not happy (and
inside your car with closed windows it’s probably hotter than you’d think… and
it is – check this out… https://abc7news.com/how-hot-can-it-get-inside-a-car-baby-in-gets/2266627/#:~:text=Here's%20a%20look%20at%20just%20how%20hot%20it%20can%20get%3A&text=When%20it's%2080%20degrees%20outside,and%20119%20after%2030%20minutes
)
***Important…if you ever send anyone to the CSA
to pick up food for you, please tell them to BRING BAGS (and make
sure at least one of them is plastic for the wet foods so you don’t get the dry
ones wet which would not be a good thing…will make the foods that don’t want to
be wet rot faster)!
This email includes…
- What
you need to know
- Concerned
about cyclosporiasis?
- Want to
see a family friendly feel good movie? This is a MUST see!
- Food
safety and COVID-19
- Click
activism…it doesn’t necessarily take that much to make a difference!
- How
best to contact the CSA/suzanne
- Do you
wanna dance?
- Emergency
situations at the CSA (hurricanes/electronic communication
glitches/medical emergencies, etc.)
- CSA
Member Danielle Tarantola is doing a half day yoga retreat in Northport!
- What
you actually got last week!
- And
now, for something completely different…
*Anything in any of our CSA emails not directly related to the
functioning of the CSA, feel free to take or leave at your discretion, and
anything related to health issues always consult with your physician(s) before
taking any action.
1.What you need to know (will be either new info to first
time CSA members, or reminders/old hat to returning CSA members)…
Most immediate helpful hints…
- Bring at least TWO bags to
the CSA EVERY WEEK for wet and dry food items (and never the
twain should meet)
- When packing up your CSA
food, start at the left side of the long table and work your way to the
right and out the garden door. Why? We set out the food to be packed in
that order so the heaviest food items will be on the bottom of your bag,
and your food won’t get squished (another way to make your food go bad
faster), and if you separate the wet from the dry foods you’re doing
pretty good on having your food last longer! π
- When you get your food
home, if it’s in a plastic bag take it OUT of the plastic bag and store
elsewhere…even if it’s in another plastic bag (the original bag will be
wet and your food won’t be happy there for long)
- Plan on using your food in
the order of how long it will reasonably stay fresh.
Before you leave the house…BRING BAGS to pack up
your food (CSA members are responsible for packing up their own shares) –
canvas/plastic/paper…bring whatever suits your fancy. The CSA does NOT provide
bags for CSA members. Consider stashing wet and dry bags in every vehicle you
own or might end up driving (or someone would use to pick up for you) and stash
them in the glove compartment, hatch, trunk…whatever π so
you never have to end up not having anything to pack your CSA Share in.
Time – 3:30pm to 7:30pm
Place – Sky Room CafΓ© in 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 –
- Check in at the sign-in
desk with our friendly CSA worker
- 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 (like the story of the 3 bears…not too much, not too little, but just
right π)! 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 (Community Solidarity…read more about them in the CSA
Events email under Tuesdays) that’s waiting to pick it up and get on their way.
Veggie info sheets are added as needed. This is the link to the: Veggie Info Sheets. Print them out, put them in a notebook and you end up with a cookbook at the end of the CSA season. Also, there are good tips on storage, prep, and nutrition.
CSA words to live by…when trying any new food you’ve never
eaten before…START SLOW!!! Read up about it (make sure it
doesn’t interfere with any medications you might be taking or any health
conditions you might have), see what traditional/conventional ways it’s
prepared (cultures that have been eating certain foods for many years basically
have a good idea what they’re doing, and we can learn from that), try a small
portion, see how your body/digestive system reacts, and proceed from there.
Then try preparing in different ways and see what you come up with, and feel
free to ask for suggestion/info/recommendations!
Paraphrased wise words by a nutritionist that I read (and don’t
remember where I read it or who said it), BUT it’s pretty smart info regarding
eating seasonally in our part of the globe…
Spring… is all about detoxing (what we get from
the CSA at this time is a lot of green things that are really good to help
clean us out from whatever we accumulated during the winter)
Interesting piece about spring greens (out of the 14 listed, we
get 12 of them with our CSA…watercress nutritionally and botanically similar to
Curly Cress/Peppercress) and detoxing…
http://www.nourishingmeals.com/2012/03/detox-with-spring-greens.html
Summer is all about being hydrated (the popular
summer foods are all full of water…Tomatoes, Lettuces, Summer Squashes, etc.)
Fall/winter is all about storing energy (we get
all the dense vegetables…Sweet Potatoes, Winter Squashes, etc…. that are energy
powerhouses to fuel us through the winter) to get you through the winter to
make it to…Spring!
Week #8
July 23, 2026
- Cucumbers
- Squash, Summer
- Beets – 1 bunch
- Beans (not sure but
guessing Snap Beans) – 1 bag
- Peppers, Sweet
- Kale – 1 bunch
- Lettuce – 1 head
Total Items: 7
Herb Shares – July 2B
Chives, Garlic AND Sage
2.Concerned about cyclosporiasis?
Basics…
Wash hands before handling food, and after bathroom use
Wash produce before preparing and scrub with a veg brush if not
delicate skinned
The less hands on your food before you purchase it, the safer it
will be (whole heads of Lettuce safer than salad mixes or bagged Cole Slaw
mixes)
Here's a decent article about all this…
My 2 cents…
1.There’s been a lot of flooding out west and in the mid-west, and
floodwaters may contain raw sewage from humans, and from farms with animals on
them.
2.The use of “biosolids” (sewage sludge) is not uncommon on
non-organic farms, and wonder if it could contain undetected critters like
this? This has not been a common thing to be tested for so maybe has been there
but not tested for.
3.Workers in larger farms may not have sufficient break time to
get to the toilets (and may be under pressure to get jobs done in short order)
and may be using the fields as their toilet, and it’s possible land owners
might not be providing enough facilities, and putting them close enough to the
workers for them to be used. And wonder if said workers are educated about work
hygiene in the language they speak?
4.Unfortunately, our country has ALWAYS put food safety fairly low
on the totem pole no matter who’s running the government…be they Democrat or
Republican. Remember the E Coli outbreak at Chipotle’s back in 2015? They NEVER
located the source of the food that was getting people sick. What can you do?
Buy local and organic, wash hands before handling food, and do as much cooking
at home as you can.
Want to grow your own food? And even if you have a home garden
already, buy these books if you don’t own them already…
Rodale’s Basic Organic Gardening…
https://www.amazon.com/Rodales-Basic-Organic-Gardening-Beginners/dp/1609619838
The Organic Gardener’s Handbook of Natural Pest and Disease
Control…
https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Gardeners-Handbook-Natural-Disease/dp/1605296775
3.Want to see a family friendly feel good movie? This is a MUST
see!
I was asked by someone at the Cinema Arts Centre to spread the
word about this movie, saw the trailer, and told them that this was like a
movie made out of puppies, kittens, bunnies, and anything else you’d find
adorable and charming and uplifting…
Friday, August 7th to Sunday, August 9th
Cookie Queens
Cinema Arts Centre
423 Park Ave
Huntington
To watch the trailer…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnSQS43Eil8
For more info and to buy tickets…
https://cinemaartscentre.org/shows/cookie-queens
And if you have any family members involved with Girl Scouts
(kids/grandkids/you’re a Scout Leader), get it touch as the Cinema Arts Centre
would like to spread the word to Girl Scout troops in the area.
However, in all honesty, I have a problem (as a former Girl Scout)
with the ingredients used for these cookies as in 2026 they should be able to
do a LOT better (certified organic would be my preference…surprise, surprise π).
BUT, there are TWO companies that make Girls Scout Cookies and one uses better
ingredients than the other. ABC Bakers…no thank you, Little Brownie Bakers…not
ideal but better than ABC Bakers.
And there are Girl Scouts who aren’t crazy about them either. Some
are advocating for changes, and some are going rogue and baking their own and
selling those instead…
https://www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2023-03-08/why-a-cookie-recipe-made-this-nh-girl-scout-go-rogue
Regardless of the cookie controversy π, this
movie looks like it has a lot to offer in terms of positivity and general good
vibes.
4.Food safety and COVID-19 and colds and the flu and even
cyclosporiasis…
Even though it’s been a while since the word “pandemic” has been
bandied about, people are still getting COVID and other illnesses. And the
lessons we learned during the past few years can still come in handy today to
avoid basic things like colds and the flu and even cyclosporiasis.
Watch writer J. Kenji Lopez-Alt (son of a Harvard University
geneticist and immunologist, grandson of a chemist, and author of Food Lab:
Better Home Cooking Through Science), talk about COVID-19 and food safety…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkvw9lZ3v3I
And read in more detail here…
After keeping the CSA going thru 2020 and 2021 while the Cinema
Arts Centre was closed (with everyone staying healthy using the simple
practices of wearing face coverings, hand washing, and social distancing), this
is where we are now at this moment in time…
- Face coverings are
optional
- Hand washing upon
entering the theater is recommended (it’s always a good idea in
preventing COVID as well as the flu and colds)
Why COVID HATES soap (works better than hand sanitizer or gloves),
and we’re talking plain soap, NOT antibacterial soap (the use of which causes
antibiotic resistance which could kill us all ☹)…
https://healthmatters.nyp.org/how-does-handwashing-with-soap-kill-the-coronavirus/
- Will try and keep the CSA
area relatively uncrowded if any future outbreaks of any infectious
diseases occur
- Enter near the Box Office
entrance, and exit thru the door that leads out to the Cinema garden and
upper parking lot stairs
5.Click activism…it doesn’t necessarily take that much to make a
difference! π
1.Tell Congress to let cancer patients be able to hold Monsanto
responsible…
2.Tell Your State Reps To Ban Genetically Engineered Frankenfoods Made With
Synthetic Biology (a.k.a Biomass Fermentation, Precision Fermentation, Cell
Cultures, and Synthetic Cells)!
Synthetic biologists are one step
closer to building life from scratch. They've just created a fully synthetic
"SpudCell" that can feed, grow, and reproduce. Science like this
rarely stays in the lab for long. It tends to end up in food, whether that was
the intent at creation. And when it does, federal regulators aren't doing
anything to stop it. The only hope we have is for state lawmakers to draw the
line.
https://advocacy.organicconsumers.org/page/59366/action/1
6. How best to contact the CSA/suzanne
First thing you might think is…I don’t need or want this info.
I get that BUT, there might come a time when you wish you knew…for
example…
- Something’s come up at the last minute and you
know you’re going to be running late and would like to have your CSA Share
packed and waiting for you at the Cinema Box Office to pick it up before
the theater closes
- You’re scheduled to help out at the CSA and
something comes up at the last minute and you need to cancel
- Something comes up and you can’t make it to the
CSA at all and you’d like to see if someone can take your CSA Share and
hold on to it till you could pick it up from them
You get the idea π.
I am not a 24/7 connected person, have no desire to be, and try
and keep my CSA and personal communications separate, so…
- Phone…you can leave a message on my landline
(yes, they do still exist π) at 631-421-4864
at any time 24/7 (keep the ringer off when sleeping), BUT on Thursdays if
you leave a message it needs to be before noon otherwise I won’t hear it
till I get back from the CSA Thursday night
- Email – you can email 24/7 at gtCSAhuntington@gmail.com but
again, if you email after noon on Thursday, I won’t get it till I get back
from the CSA Thursday night
- On Thursdays I am totally incommunicado from
noon to 3:30pm so if you want to get in touch with me between those times,
the best option is to make sure you call or email me before noon OR wait
till after 3:30pm and call the Cinema Box Office at 631-423-7611 xt. 0 to
reach me up till 7:30pm
- On Thursdays after 3:30pm (and up to 8pm),
call the Box Office at the Cinema Arts Centre at 631-423-7611 xt. 0 and
ask to speak to someone at the CSA and they will connect the call to the
CafΓ©, and we’ll talk to you directly. It’s not the Cinema staff’s job to
take messages for the CSA, and THEY MIGHT NOT GET IT RIGHT! If you leave a
message with someone at the Box Office, we might not get it in a timely
manner or at all, and they may not get it right (which happened recently
and someone almost didn’t get their CSA Share because of it).
Unfortunately, if you’re calling around 7:30pm, it may be a time where the
Box Office is busy selling tickets, and they either might not pick up the
phone, or pick up the phone and put you on hold. If they don’t pick up the
phone, keep calling, and they should eventually pick up and be able to
speak with you. We are at the CSA cleaning up till about 8pm so you should
be able to catch us before we leave (though if we are ready to leave
earlier, we will).
- FYI – I don’t get emails on my phone at all, and
CSA members aren’t able to text me as I don’t deal with CSA issues on my
cell phone
Consider putting the two phone numbers (suzanne – 631-421-4864 and
the Cinema 631-423-7611 xt. 0) in your phone under “CSA” or “Green Thumb CSA –
Huntington” (or whatever works for you to remember where you put them π) and
you can put in the notes the details of when to call, what days to call, etc.
7.Do you wanna dance?
If so, you might want to check out CSA Member, Michele Weisz’s son
Simeon’s event at Heckscher Park coming up TONIGHT (I’ll be going after the CSA
π)…
Thursday, July 23rd
8pm to 11pm
Road to Submersion Festival – Beyond Dusk
Heckscher Park
11 Prime Ave
Huntington
FREE
After the CSA, you can dance the night away for free in Heckscher
Park (or bring a chair/blanket if you just want to listen and chill π).
This is being produced by CSA Member Michele Weisz’s son Simeon Weisz! It’s an
evening of electronic underground dance music (indie house/techno) with
internationally/nationally known DJs coming in from the NYC/Brooklyn club
scene, and laser projected mapping images after it gets dark by Greenlawn
native, (Tyler) REINO. Featuring music by Malakai (the project of
Brooklyn-based producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist Malakai Linden, known
for blending bass-driven electronic beats with acoustic textures and a wide
range of musical influences...his live performances create an immersive musical
journey filled with layered sounds, evolving rhythms, and captivating energy),
as well as music from Hoopla, and Ebraze (Long Islander Brian Farrell).
This is part of a larger events group called the Submersion
Festival, and the big festival will be held this October in NJ. For more info…
https://www.submersionfestival.com/
8.Emergency situations at the CSA (hurricanes/electronic
communication glitches/medical emergencies…on my part, etc.)
- It’s hurricane season from
June 1st till November 30th (our CSA’s last day is December 10th)!
Farmers are more hardcore than postal workers so your food will be at the
CSA between 3:30pm and 7:30pm on Thursdays, pretty much no matter what.
Hurricane Sandy didn’t stop our CSA. We were at the Unitarian Fellowship
in Huntington, and there was no power and there were tree limbs around the
property BUT I checked out the building to make sure there was no danger
for us being in the building or entering the property, and with
flashlights brought by me, we had our CSA. If there’s no emails…show up anyway.
If there’s some problem/issue with the food arriving there should be a
note on the door of the Cinema letting you know what’s up (if we’re not
already in there waiting for you). In a storm situation please bring a
flashlight/lantern as it could be helpful for you and those of us at the
CSA. Again…show up, and at 3:30pm and 5:30pm if there were no emails
please offer to work if you’re able and available. If you feel it’s not
safe/wise for you to venture out, know that any food left at the end of
the CSA will be picked up and donated to the gang at Community Solidarity.
They have NEVER missed a food distribution day even in snow and ice storms
(regardless of the weather…hungry people will still be hungry if there’s
no food to eat).
- Electronic communication
is FAR from perfect. IF you get no CSA emails or responses to your emails
on any given week…come to the CSA anyway. It could be a problem with my
laptop, etc. Stuff happens.
- Anything else that might
come up (these days…who knows???)…no emails, etc., come anyway and will do
our best to keep everyone informed as best we can (look for notes on front
door of Cinema if nothing else). The CSA has always happened every week
during our 20+ seasons…(lifted from the postal worker motto) - Neither
snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom stays these farmers & CSA crew from
the swift completion of their appointed rounds…to get you your CSA Shares!
π
- If there’s an emergency
situation in progress, consider offering to help out at the CSA whether
you’re asked to or not.
9.CSA Member Danielle Tarantola is doing a half day yoga retreat

https://yogafoundation.as.me/schedule/88832b26/?appointmentTypeIds[]=94759019
CSA Member, Danielle Tarantola, will be teaching and leading this
mini-vacation as you give a gift to yourself! This will empower an untouchable peace deep within you, one that
may sometimes feel diminished or inaccessible due to the stressful
circumstances may be at hand in our lives. From the welcome drinks, to the
intentional reflections on empowering the self, to the authentic Yoga
practices, the environment, meals and gifts, offerings will be themed to
enliven the summer within
you in Long Island’s beloved, radiant season. The living will be easy for a
four-hour time slot this summer as we curate a journey to a deep sense of
eternal self. Through this sacred pause, Yoga’s practices will guide us to the
ever-glowing soul beneath the surface of life’s experience. A focused mind and
calm and able body will support the reclamation of your sovereign self,
unbothered, wise and waiting to wake up and live life to the fullest with you.
Event itinerary…
A welcome talk and beverage, an
hour-long Δsana practice with Danielle, a seasonal plant-based lunch by Christina Finkel
(@ V is for Vegan)…Christina also works with
Row 7 Seed Co. (doing cooking demos with their food) which is the source for
the seeds of the Spinach Lettuce and Fusion Lettuce we’ve gotten at our CSA
this year!), an hour of time to spend at the local village beach (transportation
provided) or stay at the house and hang by the pool, a closing meditation
practice with Danielle, and plenty of play time after to explore Northport!
10.What you actually got last week!
Week #7
July 16, 2026
- Fennel* – 1 bunch - $5.75
- Onions – 1 bunch - $4.75
- Squash, Summer: 8 Ball,
Gold, Kousa, Patty Pan (Green and Yellow), Yellow, Zucchini – 4 pc. total
- $2.00
- Swiss Chard** – 1 bunch
-$4.75
- Lettuce: Leaf, Green – 1
head - $4.50
- Parsley: Italian Flat Leaf
– 1 bunch - $4.50
Total Items: 6
Total Amount: $26.25
We pay our farm $23 per week for our CSA share…some weeks we get a
bit more, some a bit less. This week, it was $3.25 over $23.00. I keep track
and it adds up over the course of our CSA season and so far the total is
$21.25. We seem to always get at least one CSA share’s worth of food every year
that we didn’t pay for…some years two. Last year it was five and a half week’s
worth extra, so we’re talking $119 worth of food we got gratis. No idea what it
might be this season but in the end…it’s all good! π
Flower Shares – Week #5
Ageratum (also known as Flossflower, Mexican Paintbrush,
Blueflower, Goatweed, Pussyfoot and Bluemink)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtUIbGRKvz0
And here’s the recipe…
https://lidiasitaly.com/recipes/spaghetti-fennel-bitter-greens/

The only thing I’d do different is cut the stems/stalks in 1/4 “
pieces and cook them first to get tender before adding the leaves…

calm and able body will support the reclamation of your sovereign self,
unbothered, wise and waiting to wake up and live life to the fullest with you.
