Happy Summer!
- What you need to know
- CSA meeting and raffle
this Saturday…it’s all about Tomatoes!
- Food safety and
COVID-19…
- Free online screening of
a movie about eco-activist (and a personal heroine of mine 😊) Vandana Shiva
- Fan of Seltzer? Check
this out…
- What you actually got
last week
- Food hacks for this week
and beyond!
- And now, for something
completely different…
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! 😊
- 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 too 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 (if stored properly). This week…1)Lettuce, 2)
Carrots Tops (if we get them), 3) Scallions, 4) Summer Squash, 5)
Cucumbers, 6) Beans and 7)Carrots.
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.
Time – 3:30pm to 7:30pm
Place РSky Room Caf̩ 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 desk with our friendly CSA worker
- Read the CSA 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 😊)! 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.
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!
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
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!
July 28, 2022
- Cucumbers – check the CSA Wall Chart

If you want to know all there
is to know about Carrot Tops (SIX TIMES as much Vitamin C as the Carrots!!!)…

And if Harold McGee says
they’re ok to eat…they must be ok! 😊
Tomato season will soon be upon us at our CSA, so it’s a perfect time to learn more about America’s favorite fruit…the Tomato!
Plus, this may
inspire you to purchase one of our CSA Bulk Tomato Shares so you can have that
fresh Tomato flavor all winter long (freezing whole Tomatoes is SO easy). If
you think 20 lbs. is too much for you, ask and will try and find someone to
split a Tomato Share with you. 😊

Sky Room Café
423 Park Ave
Huntington

email, or leave voice message 24/7 at 631-421-4864
10am – doors open

10:15am – Good Eats
episode entitled Tomatoes (which is a strange episode title for Alton Brown as
it’s so straightforward and simple)
11am – time to talk
about Tomatoes (fridge or no fridge?), and anything CSA related, plus raffle
drawing
This episode of Good
Eats goes over the basics of all things Tomato PLUS recipes for Stuffed
Tomatoes (without getting soggy), a Baked Tomato Sauce (news to me 😊), and a BLT Salad (as
opposed to a sandwich). Attendees will get copies of the recipes.
There will be a
raffle, and all who attend will automatically be entered.
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
- Hand washing upon entering the theater is STRONGLY
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/
- We will try and keep the CSA area relatively uncrowded
- Enter near the Box Office entrance, and exit thru the
door that leads out to the Cinema garden and upper parking lot stairs

Week #8
July 21, 2022
- Squash, Summer: Costata
Romanesco, Crookneck, Gold, Kousa, Patty Pan (Green/Yellow/White), Yellow,
Zucchini – up to and not over 3 lbs. - $4.00
- Beets: Chiogga – 1 bunch
- $5.00
- Fennel – 1 bunch - $4.50
- Radicchio: Chiogga – 1
head - $4.50
- Basil – 1 bunch - $4.75
Total Items: 5
Total Amount: $21.75
We pay $20 per week for our CSA share…some weeks we get a bit more, some a bit less. This week, it was $1.75 over $20.00. Doesn’t sound like a whole lot, but it adds up over the course of the CSA season (so far the total is up to $12 over what we paid). 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, and last year it was almost four weeks worth extra so we’re talking almost $80 worth of food we got gratis…it’s all good! 😊
Flower Share Week #5 (and makeup for Rudbeckia)
Snapdragons – Antirrhinum – native to North America and
beyond.
AND
Strawflowers – Xerochrysum bracteatum – native to Australia
(everlasts…can be dried…they look like they’re already dried but they’re not
until the stems are dried out…I don’t bother putting them in water but just
make sure the stems aren’t tightly bunched together so they don’t get moldy…if
the stems are floppy and don’t dry so they’re stiff and straight, I just take
the flower heads off and place them is bowls)
Decent article on how to grow and dry…
https://www.farmersalmanac.com/how-to-grow-strawflowers
7.Food hacks for this week and beyond!
Food hacks #2 and #41 are custom made for this week, and #30
is a classic that’s good to revisit periodically (I know I’m going to rethink
my fridge storage after reading this again)! Though I disagree with #2’s
pronouncement that Basil, Dill & Mint ALWAYS must be used fresh (haven’t
they ever frozen Pesto 😊?). And while I don’t
agree with all of these hints/hacks (regrowing veg in water is fun/amusing, but
since you’re “growing” things in water that’s not treated with
fertilizer/nutrients you’re now basically eating mostly fiber and not getting
all the nutrients the original plant had because if it’s not in the soil/water
it’s not in the plant), the ones that are good/useful are worth dealing with
the ones that aren’t as good…
8.And now, for something completely different…
Have sent one about this woman before, but these are more
and better pictures. Amazing!!!

of Western Ontario, Canada. She later shifted to inter-disciplinary research in
science, technology and environmental policy, which she carried out at the Indian
Institute of Science and the Indian Institute of Management in Bangalore,
India. In 1982 she founded the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and
Ecology (RFSTE), an independent research institute that addresses the most
significant problems of ecology of our times, and two years later, Navdanya
(‘nine seeds’) the movement in defense of biodiversity and the contributions
made to the climate, environment and society by small farmers. The recipient of
many awards, including the Right Livelihood Award, (the ‘Alternative Nobel
Prize’) and the Sydney Peace Prize, she has been named among the top five “Most
Important People in Asia” by AsiaWeek. She is a prolific writer and author of

NOFA Summer Conference
Hampshire College
Amherst, MA
For more info and to register…
https://www.nofamass.org/nofa-summer-conference/
What’s NOFA? It’s the Northeast Organic Farming Association
and it’s the group that certifies farms organic including NY (and they did this
before the federal government got involved).
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A FARMER TO GO…or to enjoy this event 😊!
Anyone I’ve ever told to go and went had a great time, and wanted to go back. I
haven’t gone in a number of years and might just make it to this one. The theme
for this year’s conference is Decolonizing and Regrowing our Food Systems: The
Work Of Our Time. A little info about the NOFA Summer Conferences…
https://www.nofamass.org/conferences/
There will be workshops, parties, movies, and a LOT more.
It’s fun for the WHOLE family (there are specific workshops for children aged 5
to 12 and the kids love them). The food is served buffet style, is all organic,
and geared to most any diet…from raw foods to paleo and everything inbetween
(you can always contact them if you have specific questions).
If I go it’s going to cost me about $300 which includes the
conference AND room and board (Fri – dinner, Sat – breakfast/lunch/dinner, Sun
– breakfast/lunch). It’s quite the steal of a deal!

peak sun exposure hours (sunglasses/hat/sunscreen, etc.). I’ve never gotten
ticks on one of these tours yet, but I’d do a thorough tick check once you got
back home (they have a roving band of marauding Guinea Hens that take care of
eating most of them I believe 😊).
Planning on going to lunch after the last tour at Barrow
Food House in Riverhead (farm-to-table and reasonably priced for the area), and
everyone’s invited (they have indoor and outdoor dining options).

This is an invitation to doctors, nurses, medical students,
nutritionists, health coaches and anyone in the healthcare field, to attend the
first conference of its kind, and first in the world, to connect soil health,
farming and health, bridging the disconnect between farming practices and
health. Some of the speakers that I’m familiar with are Dr. Mark Hyman
(functional medicine MD), and Dr. T. Colin Campbell (vegan superstar known for
his China Study). You will get your hands dirty! 😊
