Happy Autumn, Happy World Kindness Day*, Happy National Vegan Month, AND National Family Caregivers Month**!
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CSA SHARE IN YOUR CAR FOR ANY LENGTH OF
TIME (even though summer is over, your CSA Share won’t last as long as it would
if it were happy…which happens at about 40 degrees and your car’s interior is
warner than it is outside 😊).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Kindness_Day
And here’s an organization that’s all about kindness (with
lots of suggestions about being kind)…
https://www.randomactsofkindness.org/
This event is to make aware, and show appreciation for, the
12 million Americans providing unpaid care for loved ones with Alzheimer’s or
other forms of dementia. With that said, on November 17th to 21st,
there’s an online event called Broken Brain, Toxic Gut (about your gut and
brain health), and two of the speakers are Dr. Heather Sandison (author of
Reversing Alzheimer’s) and Dr. Austin Perlmutter (co-author of Brain Wash:
detox your mind…written along with his father Dr. David Perlmutter). I’ll bet
dollars to doughnuts that eating organic is going to be talked about in this
series of lectures about brain health, possibly curing Alzheimer’s and how to
avoid cognitive decline. To sign up, click here (will also be in our CSA Events
email)…

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)…
- 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 go 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.
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 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!
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!
November 13, 2025
- Sweet Potatoes – 1 bag
- Fennel – 1 bunch
- Squash, Winter: Delicata
- Broccoli: Purple* – 1 bunch
- Peppers: Mixed (probably Sweet but we’ll see 😊) – 1 bag
- Radicchio – 1 head
Total Items: 6
Herb Share – November 1A
Cilantro AND Dill
Organically grown Broccoli (and Cauliflower) from your
garden, OR from a farm, OR a greenmarket, can have worms in it (if it’s safe
enough for the worms to eat and not get sick and/or die, it’s good enough for
us 😊). To avoid eating them (insert comments
about “extra protein” here 😊), soak in salted water,
or water and vinegar, for about 5 minutes (others will tell you 10 or 20
minutes or even overnight). Check out suggestions here…
https://www.masterclass.com/articles/how-to-clean-broccoli
2.We’re having an Exchange Table this week
There are a TON of things to vote on, but the two of them
I’ve just voted for, and am mentioning to you are…
- Click on “FOOD”, and
then click on “Farmstand”, and then (I hope 😊) click on “Green Thumb
Farm”, and if this is your first time voting, they will ask for your email
address and info to register.
- I then clicked on “All
categories” (I think 😊) on the top of the page
to get to the start and clicked on “Arts and Entertainment” and then
clicked on “Movie Theater” and then clicked on “Cinema Arts Centre” (the
place that is gracious enough to give our CSA a home 😊).
And then am flabbergasted to see that neither Sriphraphai
(the best Thai restaurant on Long Island), nor Thai USA (the place that has
hosted our CSA Bitter Melon dinner for the past several years and my personal
local fave) are included (but then again, I may not have nominated them…must do
that next year).
https://www.bestoflongisland.com/
You can vote daily (vote often 😊)
from now till December 15th.

CSA Member Debbie Fratello (she shares a CSA Share with
Danielle Tarantola) is a member of Vegan University, so you could talk to her
about it (and she’ll be at the CSA tonight from 5:30pm to 730pm if you’d like
to talk to her about this). She’s a fan. I might join the next time he opens up
enrollment. I’m not a fan of Seitan or fake ultra-processed vegan meat, but
most of Chef Adams’ recipes either have alternatives to those things, or are in
the minority. While Chef Adam is discouraging people from joining if you’re
about whole food plant-based cooking, I’d still give it a shot. However, if
you’re on the WFPB no oil diet, or the more extreme SOS WFPB diet (no
salt/oil/sugar) I might give it a pass OR you can try it and you can get your
money refunded if you discover it won’t work for you.

13.What you actually got last week
November 6, 2025
- Squash, Winter: Carnival – 1 pc. - $3.00
- Beans, Snap: Green – 1 bag (1/2 lb.) - $4.50
- Broccoli: Purple* – 1 pc. - $5.00
- Peppers, Sweet: Lunchbox Mixed – 1 bag (1/2 lb.) -
$5.50
- Mustard Greens – 1 bunch - $5.25
- Lettuce: Escarole – 1 head - $4.50
Total Items: 6
Total Amount: $27.75
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 $4.75 over $23.00. Doesn’t
sound like a whole lot, but it adds up over the course of the CSA season (at
the moment it’s a total of $79.75 more food than what we paid). We seem to
always get at least one CSA share’s worth of food every year (we’ve got that
now) 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! 😊
Organically grown Broccoli (and Cauliflower) from your
garden, OR from a farm, OR a greenmarket, can have worms in it (if it’s safe

CSA member Eric Eaton has started a singer/songwriter series
at Urban Coffee. This will be an almost weekly event (except not the first
Tuesday of the month when it will be poetry night). It’ll be an evening of
home-brewed songs and home-brewed Coffee 😊. Eric will be playing
songs of life, love, hope and peace, and then we’ll see what original tunes
Katherine has to offer. So, come on down and grab some refreshments for your
taste buds and ears!
