Here’s a photo of our share from the Central Brooklyn CSA on Wednesday July 28. Beautiful green peppers for the first time this season! As well, we received two types of lettuce, leeks, oregano, corn, beets, red potatoes, carrots and zucchini. The fruit share (which I forgot to pick up!) consisted of plums, nectarines and peaches. And, as usual, a terrific dozen eggs.
For you Central Brooklyn CSA members, did you know that there is a Planning Team which works on tasks involving the direction, and day-to-day running of the CSA? If not, we invite you to attend our next meeting on Thursday, August 5th. We’ll be meeting at 7 PM at LaunchPad, a meeting space at 721 Franklin Ave (on the corner of Park Place). At this meeting we will be discussing the direction of the CSA, including newsletter design, event planning, volunteer coordination, farmer communication, and community building.
Getting involved with the Planning Team is a great way to fulfill your volunteer hours if you are unable to volunteer at distribution. If you have any feedback on your experience with the CSA, or if you would just like to be more involved, please consider attending! Any questions can be fielded to Maia at CentralBrooklynCSA@gmail.com, or to J.T. at jtcrockett@gmail.com.

I wonder if they would give you volunteer hours for blogging about the CSA … I think they should!
Hahaha! I have already done my fours of volunteer work. I think CSAs are important in so many ways, so I’m happy to help in any way I can.
