Hellgate CSA

This is a reminder that tomorrow is Election Day. Polls in NY are open 6AM to 9PM.

We know it will be a challenge to incorporate both Voting and the CSA pick-up and are especially grateful to all volunteers working at set-up and pick-up tomorrow.

Dear Hellgate CSA Member:

Can you believe we only have five more weeks of the CSA?  Crazy that it's almost over!  I think it's amazing that we are still getting string beans, which I always associate with summer.  To counter that, beets are on the menu this week.  Look for a separate "special report on beets" post  with recipes and storage tips. 

Tomatillos are

Veggie Share
lettuce
beets
string beans
red mustard
tomatillos
cilantro
hot peppers

Herb Share: TBD

Fruit Share: TBD

Also, we are in need of volunteers for setup tomorrow, so if you can assist, we would welcome that!

Because of the surprise July 4 delivery, we will end the vegetable season one week earlier than in the contract. So there are two weeks of produce after this week. Then the vegetable season will be done. Hard to believe it's almost over!

Volunteers are still needed for the final two weeks' setup shift, from noon to 3:00 on November 13 and November 20.

We are short one volunteer for the 12-3 setup shift this Tuesday, and we also need 2 volunteers to work setup on October 23.  If you can help out, we'd really appreciate it! Please email volunteer@hellgatecsa.com if you can help. Thank you.

If you haven't yet volunteered this season, and are available to work this Tuesday's distribution, we need volunteers for both the 12-3 pm slot and the 5-8 pm slot. If you can lend a hand on October 2, we'd really appreciate it! Please email volunteer@hellgatecsa.com if you can help. Thank you.

We are in need of more volunteers for tomorrow's distribution - at this point we just have one volunteer in the 12-3pm slot and one volunteer in the 5-8pm slot.  If you can lend yourself to the CSA tomorrow, we'd really appreciate it.  Please email volunteer@hellgatecsa.com if you can help.  Thank you!
