Taste of a Tuv Ha’Aretz

by Mia-Rut · June 22nd, 2009

CSA/Tuv Ha'Aretz, Community Agriculture, Featured, Jewish Organizations, Personal Story

Yeah, so we talk about our vegetables a lot. Last week after I picked up my CSA share I thought about blogging about taking my veggies out on the town (I had participated in the New Israel Fund’s event Love, Hate, and the Jewish State – vegetables in tow). I ultimately decided against it. But others have been more forthcoming with their CSA adventures.

Each week Rebecca Tanen, one of the Jew and the Carrot Associate Editors, has been sharing her weekly adventures in her CSA box as a “CSA Newbie.” And the Hazon CSA in Chicago (Tuv Ha’Aretz Chicago) has even started their own blog. Anyone else have any more stories to share?

My wife Alexa and I are also CSA newbies, we joined the new Tuv Ha’Aretz in Forest Hills, Queens. We’ve been loving all the beautiful produce that’s been coming from Golden Earthworm farm and have been blogging our creations on our site: sustainablepantry.com. We are so excited to be taking part in a CSA, and can now safely say that culinarily, there is nothing quite as satisfying as eating a meal made from delicious, local, organic, sustainably farmed veggies (growing them might be even more satisfying, but arable land is in short supply in Queens!). Check out Alexa root-top pie recipe, it’s a tasty way to use all those wonderful beet, radish and turnip greens.

I picked up my first-ever CSA box last Friday- a few amazing tomatoes, squash, zucchini, peas, spring onions (red!), (real!) baby carrots and a ginormous head of fresh garlic- which was a revelation for us. We’re down to one small onion, a handful of onion tops and a tomato… I made “CSA quiche- sauteed a bunch of veggies with garlic and tossed them into the quiche with some sharp cheddar, and had sauteeed zucchini with lots of lightly sauteed garlic over rice. Best stuff ever. Can’t wait for Friday!
