http://wintergreenscsa.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 18, 2010. After the demise of my own fig tree. I thank the goddesses that I spend time in Italian Brooklyn neighborhoods. There, though there is a chill, I am still enjoying figs off the trees. Links to this post. Monday, September 6, 2010. Goodbye, Huguenot Street Farm. With the Khoslas, who are willing to give a deal to someone with plans that honor the land's history. Only contact the sellers with serious inquiries, please. Links to this post. Wednesday, September 1, 2010. But if y...

wintergreens: May 2010
http://wintergreenscsa.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 28, 2010. Wintergreens: How We Started. Wintergreens is a presence at Hudson Valley farmers markets. Selling pickled local produce and vegetarian staples ( tofu. Seitan, cashew cheese. In the winters we run a winter C.S.A. that distributes local produce all winter long. We do that by practicing some of the oldest methods for storing food: root cellaring, fermentation, dehydration, and more. Here's how wintergreens came to be. And that really set the wheels in motion. Therefore, I introduce to...

wintergreens: Harvest Season
http://wintergreenscsa.blogspot.com/2010/10/harvest-season.html
Sunday, October 3, 2010. I recently led a fermentation workshop with the Putnam County Holistic Moms. Which was great fun, and we also had a discussion about easy things to do to extend the harvest. Cold mornings may make you think the growing season's all over, aside from a winter squash or two, but that's far from the truth. Here are some quick (and incomplete) lists I shared with the mothers:. To eat local year-round. Rig up your own root cellar. Learn about wild food. Plant in sunny windows. If, like...

wintergreens: November 2010
http://wintergreenscsa.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 4, 2010. At this time last year we were doing the first winter C.S.A. distributions. Some people were thrilled to get sweet fall kale, and others grumbled, complaining that there was always more kale than anyone was interested in eating. Brussels were a contested item, too, but there were more than a few converts when members shared a recipe for roasting them with a touch of maple syrup. And one raw with lemon, garlic, and agave (like they serve at Bonobo's. Raw Lemon Kale Salad. Remov...

wintergreens: change promise fudge
http://wintergreenscsa.blogspot.com/2011/01/change-promise-fudge.html
Friday, January 7, 2011. That's my version of Eat Pray Love. I haven't even reported back about my liquor infusions. And here I am quitting alcohol! These are basil vodka, plum vodka, cherry vodka, cucumber sake, and elderberry vanilla vodka. Later I made peach and watermelon vodka for a garden party: summer in a jar. Before the New Year rolled around, we'd already been talking about making big changes in our lives:. Five hours long. I'm determined to get those back. I immediately re-commited to our ques...

wintergreens: Drinking and Smoking
http://wintergreenscsa.blogspot.com/2010/07/drinking-and-smoking.html
Sunday, July 11, 2010. I get obsessed with things that I can't explain. One current obsession is smoked flavor, as in, smoked sea salt, smoked paprika, liquid smoke, smoked chipotles. Besides the chilies, I don't yet know how to use these flavors well, but am experimenting a lot. The other thing that's come out of the blue is wanting to infuse vodka. Do you have any experience making infused liquor with homegrown ingredients? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What we believe in. Come see us at market.

wintergreens: Pawpaw Passion
http://wintergreenscsa.blogspot.com/2009/10/pawpaw-passion.html
Sunday, October 25, 2009. Pawpaws are North America's largest edible indigenous fruit. Why had I never had one before? The best explanation seems to be that they don't "work" for business: they don't keep long, they don't ship well, they don't ripen off the tree, they don't preserve well. Food that can't be marketed on a large scale doesn't "make sense" to grow in our consumer society. The genius of Northeastern fruits, who, it turns out, lives and works in New Paltz. Labels: grow at home.
