First CSA meeting of the year this is Saturday…all about
Strawberries…and there will be a free raffle for all who attend!
This Saturday will be our first CSA meeting of the season,
and the main topic will be Strawberries (when it comes to Strawberries, if you
think you know…you probably don’t know 😊), in preparation for
our Annual CSA Strawberry Picking Farm Tour coming up on Saturday, June 25th.
Feel free to bring along any friends that might be interested in joining our
CSA, and children are welcome to come (along with a parent to attend to them 😊).
We’d be happy to see you for part or all of the meeting
(drop by and say hi). Since the Cinema Art Centre’s Sky Room Café won’t be open
till somewhere between 11am and noon, feel free to bring your beverage of
choice, a snack, or breakfast/brunch! 😊
Saturday, June 11th

leave a message at 631-421-4864
HOWEVER, if you’re a last minute sort of person…that works
too. 😊 Just stop by, as we’d be glad to see you
(and can get you the printouts either Saturday or by the next CSA on Thursday)!
We’ll be viewing an episode of Alton Brown’s tv show Good
Eats that’s all about Strawberries (best way to freeze, recipes and more) to
prepare us for the visit to Green Thumb Farm for the Strawberry picking tour.
Meeting Schedule (approx.)…
10am to 10:15am – doors unlocked and time to gather, and
optional recipe swap (bring a copy of a recipe for something you’ve used in the
past 2 CSA Shares and we’ll make copies for everyone attending 😊)
10:15 to 10:30 – Welcome, what’s a CSA (and what it’s not),
a brief history of Green Thumb Farm, and any general CSA questions
10:30 to 11:15pm – Alton Brown’s series Good Eats episode –
Strawberry Sky (recipes from the show will be given to those attending)
11:15am to 12pm – Strawberry chat time, recipe info and
distribution, raffle drawing for all those attending (prize will be announced
at the meeting), and other CSA topics (July meeting/future meeting topics, our
June restaurant outing, etc.).
If you plan on attending, please RSVP so I can have
the proper amount of printouts at the ready.
Hope to see you Saturday!
