Happy Autumn!
Since someone asked, it’s time to mention this schedule
note…the week of Thanksgiving, our CSA will be held Wednesday, November
22nd, from 1:30pm to 7:30pm.
CSA weather report…cool
Don’t leave your CSA Share in your car - over 40 degrees in
your car and it’s not happy (and inside your car with closed windows it’s
probably hotter than you’d think… and it is – check this out…
Important…if you ever send anyone to the CSA
to pick up food for you, please tell them to BRING BAGS!
This email includes…
- What you need to know
- Food safety and
COVID-19…
- How to get in touch with
the CSA/suzanne and why you might want to
- Let the games begin…it’s
time to vote for the Best of Long Island!
- CSA Member Bob McEntee
(and our resident magician 😊) is performing this
Sunday in Dix Hills for FREE!
- Emergency situations at
the CSA (hurricanes/electronic communication glitches/medical emergencies,
etc.)
- Climate friendly
Thanksgiving tips
- CSA Member Danielle’s
schedule of Yoga classes
- What you actually got
last week
- Who knew what fresh
Broccoli can do? 😊
- 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! 😊
- 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. Not sure as to what that is? Just ask! 😊
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 – Sky Room Café 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 😊)! 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.
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 #24
November 16, 2023
- Sweet Potatoes – 1 bag
- Carrots (with tops which are edible IF we get the
tops)* – 1 bunch
- Broccoli** – 1 bunch
- Tat Soi – 1 bunch
- Hon Tsai Tai*** – 1
bunch
Total Items: 5
*Carrot
Tops – with any new food, start slow and see how your body
reacts, check if you’re on any medications for possible interactions, check
with your doctor(s) if you have any concerns/questions

Tops (SIX TIMES as much Vitamin C as the Carrots!!!)…
http://www.carrotmuseum.co.uk/carrotops.html
And if Harold McGee says they’re ok to eat…they must
be ok! 😊
**Broccoli tip – there MIGHT be little worms in your
Broccoli (better that than consuming the invisible pesticides that they use to
kill the worms on “conventionally” grown Broccoli…about 33 are used and they
include hormone disruptors, neurotoxins, are carcinogenic, kill bees, etc.), so
to find out soak your Broccoli florets (the top part as opposed to the stem
which won’t have worms) in salt water (NOT hot water as some places recommend)
for 20 minutes before cooking and any critters should float to the top (if
you’re a Buddhist or don’t want to harm the bugs you can use plain water and
then scoop them out and put in your yard…though I won’t guarantee you won’t
find any after cooking 😊)…
Though these are the experts…
https://www.masterclass.com/articles/how-to-clean-broccoli
I’ve used this method over the years and think it’s better…
https://thehomesteadinghippy.com/getting-worms-out-of-broccoli/
but I might try adding some white vinegar next time…
***Hon Tsai Tai
Can use your Bok Choi or Broccoli Rabe Veg Info Sheets for
this veg
Can be eaten raw or cooked (good for stir-frying, braising
and soups) BUT if the stems aren’t really thin and tender, cook them (and as
with all stems, cut into small pieces…1/4” to ½”)
Common Chinese prep…stir fry with Onions, Garlic &
Ginger and then add Oyster Sauce at the end
Very simple and fast recipe (this woman does have 4 children
😊)…

2.Food safety and COVID-19
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 (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 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
3.How to get in touch with the CSA/suzanne (and why you
might want to )…
This is information you might not care about at all…until
you do, So, for the one time you might need this, please keep this contact info
in a place where you’d find it if you wanted it.
Why might you want to get in touch with suzanne and/or the
CSA?
- You’re running late getting to the CSA and can’t get
there by 7:30pm (you have the option of getting your CSA Share packed up
for you and picking it up before the Box Office closes which changes from
week to week depending on the movies being shown, but would usually be at
least 9pm)
- You can’t get to the CSA at all and would like it if
someone could hold your food till Friday, or Monday if you’re going away
for the weekend (if you know in advance, don’t wait till the last minute
as the more time we have, the better chance we’ll be able to find someone
to help out)
- You’re scheduled to work at the CSA and need to cancel
- Some other reason I’m not coming up with at the moment 😊
Options for getting in touch (the short story is that I’m
not available 24/7, nor am I plugged in to any electronic communication thingy
24/7, and so these are the parameters)…
- Email - gtcsahuntington@gmail.com
(can email me 24/7 HOWEVER, will not see ANY emails on Thursdays from noon
to 11pm)
- Phone
- 631-421-4864 – my home
landline (can call 24/7 and only leave voice messages, BUT will not hear
ANY messages or respond on Thursdays from noon till Friday afternoon)
- 631-423-7611 xt. 0 –
Cinema Arts Centre Box Office and DO NOT leave messages with the Box
Office as we may not get these messages in a timely manner or at all, and
ask to (or insist if you need to) speak to someone at the CSA They will
transfer the call to the Café and someone from the Café will get someone
from the CSA (can ONLY call this number for the CSA on Thursdays from
3:30pm to 8pm)
4.Let the games begin…it’s time to vote for the Best of
Long Island!
I’ve just voted for Green Thumb Farm for best Farm Stand
under the “Food” category (come to the farm tour this weekend and find out why 😊),
and for the Cinema Arts Centre for best Movie Theater under “Arts &
Entertainment”…
https://www.bestoflongisland.com/voting/#//
And I also voted for Bee’s Needs for Best Raw Honey under
“Food” because that’s the woman (Mary Woltz) who’s the beekeeper at our farm,
Green Thumb Farm (and she’s truly awesome). And for Organic Eatery I voted for
True Food Kitchen because of the places nominated I think this is the place
that uses the most organic foods (and they’re really tasty), for best Veggie
Burger I voted for Blind Bat Brewery because it’s an organic whole food plant
based burger (and very tasty), and for the Vegan Burger I voted for True Food
Kitchen again because it’s tasty and a whole food plant based organic burger.
Under “Restaurants” I voted for Thai USA (hosts of our Bitter Melon dinner 😊)
under Thai (the fact that they didn’t have Sripraphai in Williston Park
nominated is insane but maybe it’s just me 😊).
You can vote once a day, every day from now till December 15th,
and check out the other categories and maybe there’s someone else you’d like to
support and vote for.
But it is odd that some of the places you can vote for no
longer exist like Mara’s Southern Kitchen (which I meant to go to but never got
there), and MP Taverna which moved from Roslyn to Irvington upstate (weird…).
I just saw that our CSA Member Danielle Tarantola is
nominated for Best Yoga Teacher under the “Health, Wellness & Beauty”
category as well as her Yoga Studio, Yoga Foundation (which they spelled
incorrectly 😊)…so I voted for her.
Are you nominated for anything? If so, let me know and we
can support you!
5.CSA Member Bob McEntee (and our resident magician 😊)
is performing this Sunday in Dix Hills for FREE!
Also listed in our CSA Events email…
Sunday, November 19th
2pm (seating begins at 1:45pm)
Miracles of the Mind
Half Hollow Hills Library
Lecture Rm. 111
55 Vanderbilt Pkwy
Dix Hills
FREE
To register and for more information…
631-421-4530
https://www.hhhlibrary.org/event/miracles-mind-dix-hills-69315
CSA Member (and resident CSA magician) Robert McEntee will
combine mentalism and magic to leave you amazed! 😊 For ages 18 and up and
you need a library card to register (not sure if it needs to be one from the
Half Hollow Hills library or Suffolk County).
6.Emergency situations at the CSA (hurricanes/electronic
communication glitches/medical emergencies, etc.)
- It’s hurricane season till November 30th
(our CSA’s last day is December 14th)! 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
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! 😊
- If there’s an emergency situation in progress, consider
offering to help out at the CSA whether you’ve been asked to or not.
7.Climate friendly Thanksgiving tips
Though they only mention shopping at a farmers market,
you’re already doing your part by being a CSA Member as they’re talking about
buying local produce!

9.What you actually got last week
Week #23
November 9, 2023
- Sweet Potatoes – 1 bag (2 ½ lb.) - $5.50
- Sunchokes (use Jerusalem Artichoke Veg Info Sheet…same
veg different name) – 1 bag (3/4 lb.) - $6.75
- Fennel – 1 bunch - $5.00
- Broccoli Rabe (also known as Rapini) – 1 bunch - $5.00
- Mibuna* (use Mizuna Veg Info Sheet…different veg but
very similar so info basically the same) – 1 bunch - $4.50
Herb Share – November 1A
Cilantro AND Marjoram
Total Items: 5
Total Amount: $26.75
We pay our farm $22 per week for our CSA share…some weeks we
get a bit more, some a bit less. This week, it was $4.75 over $22.00 (my
compulsive self is keeping track of all this 😊). Doesn’t sound like a
whole lot whether it’s over or under, but it adds up over the course of the CSA
season (at the moment it’s a total of $59 more food than 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 (which we’ve just gotten), 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! 😊
*Mibuna (I am a lazy gourmet and will most
likely use this in a salad)
Mibuna vs.Mizuna
https://thecontentauthority.com/blog/mibuna-vs-mizuna
Good article on differences between Mizuna & Mibuna and
a LOT of Japanese recipes…
https://recipesfortom.blogspot.com/2012/07/mizuna-and-mibuna-mustard-greens.html#gsc.tab=0
Mibuna + Pea Pasta
https://www.vegetarianandcooking.com/2019/06/mibuna-pea-pasta.html
Mibuna with Garlic & Fish Sauce
10.Who knew what fresh Broccoli can do? 😊
Besides protecting you from cancer and being good for brain
and heart health, it does this too (frozen does not as it’s already been cooked
too long for sulforaphane to form)…
https://www.eatingwell.com/the-best-vegetable-for-lowering-blood-sugar-8391197
HOWEVER, it won’t do any of these things if you microwave or
boil it. Why?
Microwaving (or boiling) for ONE MINUTE destroys myrosinase
which helps make sulforaphane which is what they’re talking about in the above
articles. So the best way to cook is to steam according to the American
Institute for Cancer Research.
And roasting seem to be ok too but roast using the lowest
temp possible (low and slow better than hot and fast as far as retaining
sulforaphane goes)…
This info goes for ALL cruciferous vegetables (of which we
get a lot of at our CSA…about 23 of them from this list)…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruciferous_vegetables
11.And now, for something completely different…
Check out #17 for this week’s CSA Share (and if you don’t
own a dedicated “air fryer”, it’s the same as using the convection setting in a
conventional oven or toaster oven (and besides steaming, this is not a such a
bad way to cook Broccoli 😊)…
Events…both near and far
*Please keep in mind that any events or services listed do
not indicate a direct endorsement from Green Thumb Farm or Green Thumb CSA -

Monday, November 13th to Sunday, November

The Truth About Alzheimer’s: How to Slow Down Aging and
Prevent Alzheimer’s (online event)
FREE
To register…
https://alzheimersandaging.byhealthmeans.com/?idev_id=24669
The two people that got me interested in this are Dr. Dale
Bredesen (author of The End of Alzheimer’s Program…with forward by Dr. David
Perlmutter…have been meaning to get this book since it came out…next book to
buy on my very long book list 😊) and Dr. Austin
Perlmutter (son of neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter…following in his father’s
footsteps for holistic brain health). You will be asked to purchase permanent
access to this event as it’s near impossible to watch all the events every day
unless you do nothing else, but you don’t have to (though if you think the info
could be useful/interesting it might be worth it to you). And I imagine part of
this program will have to do with eating organic food.

also works with non-vegans) and, Dr. Dale Bredesen and Dr. David Perlmutter
(see above 😊). You will be asked to purchase permanent
access to this event as it’s near impossible to watch all the events every day
unless you do nothing else, but you don’t have to (though if you think the info
could be useful/interesting it might be worth it to you). And I imagine part of
this program will have to do with eating organic food.

trunks of cars, to make this go smoother and quicker. It can be a nice
family activity to help fellow Long Islanders in need and to help them eat
healthy.
