Sunnyside CSA Potluck & Movie Night – January 11th
This past year we signed up for our neighborhood CSA [Community Supported Agriculture] Program (CSA) for Sunnyside and Woodside Queens. It is a 100% volunteer organization run by the people in our neigborhood. For 28 weeks, we enjoyed the fruits [and veggies] of labor from our local farm Golden Earthworm.
The bounty was great and each week was a welcome surprise as we devised new menus to take advantage of our fresh produce. We’re in the off-season now (although there is a Winter-share of root veggies) but the CSA still sponsors community activities including this upcoming potluck and movie night. Go find out more on how to Think Global, Eat Local!
CSA Potluck & Movie Night
What: CSA Potluck Dinner & Movie Night
Date: Friday January 11, 2008
Time: 7:00 pm – 10:30 pm
Location: All Saints Church
Street: 43-12 46th Street, bet. Queens Blvd & 43rd Ave.
Who: CSA Members and anyone who is interested in joining for next season and anyone who likes food and movies
Why: Meet your neighbors, have fun, eat some good food, watch a surprise movie on the big screen with a projector. Members of the CSA core group will be there to answer any questions about next season.
How much: Free! Please bring a dish to share (vegetarian or non-vegetarian) that feeds about 4-6 people. We will have some paper plates and utensils, but feel free to bring your own plates and forks from home to reduce our waste. If you
don’t like to cook, beverages are welcome.
RSVP: Email diane@sunnysidecsa.com and let me know what you’re bringing and how many people. However if you forget to RSVP or decide at the last minute, just show up – we’ll be happy to see you!
P.S. There MAY be an opportunity to sign up for next season – it depends on whether or not we get the share prices from the farmer in time. So you might want to bring your check book just in case.
