Edible Mention & Shares!

Sunday, May 9th, 2010

Great produce speaks for itself. We were mentioned in the current issue of Edible Brooklyn by our friends at Dressler  in Williamsburg. 

“That may be because it’s something Dobkin’s done for decades.  Though Dobkin was raised in Manhattan, his father has land up in the Hudson Valley, where Dobkin grew up picking-his-own at nearby farms and orchards, and still stops by to load up his car with produce for the drive back to Brooklyn. (He also gets great ingredients delivered from places like Tivoli’s Paisley Farm, whose baby mustard greens he can’t seem to stop praising: “I’ve never tasted anything that delicate, yet that assertive,” he raves.) He cites his time at Gramercy Tavern and the Screening Room, both places known for simple, ingredient-driven food, as formative, too.

“Smart people start with what they know,” he says. “You’d be a fool,” he says of chefs or restaurateurs who don’t plan a business around what they love to eat, “to go with something else.” ”

We are assertive…and delicate. The best of both worlds… much like this upcoming season. A mix of vegetables shares, fruit shares and egg shares, oh my! A little something for everyone to find their favorite to rave about. 

Don’t miss out on these beloved baby mustard greens and all our other goods!

Our Fresh Produce Delivery at CPE II

Our Fresh Produce Delivery at CPE II

Thank you and welcome to all of our new members!

From the feedback I received on the first day of delivery, everyone was pleased and excited to receive their box o’ freshly farmed produce!

There were a few “mystery” items for us city dwellers :). I’ve posted images of some of them so that those of us living around more concrete, than farmland, can “check our answers.”

A Beet

A Beet

A beet, “obviously” you say. The beet I received was not purple-ish, it was all green, so I was only able to recognize it by its shape. (Although it does look like a radish… hmmm)

My Beet!

My Beet!

Please let us know of any yummy recipes you discover for beets, radishes or parsnips. Email it to me and I will post to the blog.

Some of my beets were very dark like this.

Here's the beet you may recognize in your share this week.

Misato Rose Radish

Radish. This looks like my beet. Now I'm confused.

Not to be confused for a pumpkin.

Golden Nuggest Squash. Not to be confused with a pumpkin.

Use small pumpkins to make soup or a soup bowl.

Not sure where "spaghetti" fits in.

Spaghetti Squash. Not sure where "spaghetti" fits in. Eat it with spaghetti, i guess?

Tan, white fleshed "carrot" kin to the turnip?

Parsnips. Tan, white fleshed "carrot" kin to the turnip?

Chinese Radish. Looks like an oblong albino carrot.

CPE II Location CSA Coordinator

CPE II Pick-up Update

Monday, July 13th, 2009

Happy Monday CPE II CSA Members!

Here are some tidbits that we should all be diligent in following so that our delivery days run smoothly.

  • Each Wednesday, a coordinator will be present. That is me, Elizabeth or Zhanna (she is our “alternate” very nice person who makes herself available… person). Ideally the Coordinator will only need to be there from 1:30 (truck delivery time) until 4:30.
  • Each Wednesday there should also be a Member Volunteer also present. The volunteer should arrive no later than 3:30. Earlier works too! The volunteer will remain present until the last person picks up which is typically by 6:30pm.
  • It is important that ALL members inform a coordinator if they WILL NOT pick up their shares. This way we will avoid waiting unnecessarily and this is also the opportunity to give the name of the person who will pick up for you OR for other members to share in the extra left-overs (yummy).
  • Lastly, if you haven’t already, please let us know which two Wednesday’s you are tentatively available over the next four months to volunteer. We can always make adjustments as we go.

Thanks!

Tuesday

PS As always, email me with any questions or concerns.

First pick-up in NYC is June 17th!
