    seasonal muffin (dec 2020)
    Stephanie Y.

    Stopped by the Bread Alone stand last Sunday. So glad to hear that this stand is going to be here every Sunday year round! My bf got the seasonal muffin today, which is something I've never tried so I wanted to hop on and write another small review. The seasonal muffin (Dec 2020) was a lemon muffin. We heated it up in the toaster before trying it and the warm interior along with zesty flavor and other christmassy spices warmed my mouth. It reminded me a lot of a muffin version of the Starbucks lemon pound cake -- so fluffy and fresh. This muffin is definitely a lot less sweet than some of their other pastries, so I'd highly recommend it to those who have less of a sweet tooth!

    Love this farmer's market! Beautiful selection of fresh fruits and veggies. Also the bread stand is mouth watering. You must try their Lemon Currant Scone. The market has vendors with fresh fish, meats, cheeses and pickles! Just got some delicious jalapeño garlic pickles today. And raw honey. The only thing missing is someone who sells maple syrup and jams! Really great market, great selection and great people.

    I have been coming here for the last few years on and off. Tons of fresh produce. It can be a little pricey, but you do get what you pay for. I wish there was a little bit more space to walk around, however.With the tents on the sidewalk, there is little room to walk without bumping into others.

    Farmers market there on Sunday morning. If you want to get good milk make sure you get there early they run out of it really fast. Always plenty of fresh organic produce, bread, eggs, meat, cheese, honey and freshest seafood you can find

    Wow.. all fresh farm grown vegetables, puts supermarkets to shame.The best. So fresh, bright colored veggies & fruit. Prices went up since last year,but hey what hasn't. This october 2021 numerous vendors are selling items such as eggs,bread beef even fresh fish,candles,hand rolled cigars, spices,clothing, scissors,handbags,flowers. You name it....t's probably here. If your hungry, food trucks are here too. Definitely a great way to spend a Sunday. People are so nice & friendly. Sitting area near by in case you want to try that candy apple or shiskabab. Dont forget to stop & see the balloon man who makes swords, animals,hats.& so much more. So enjoyable.

    I'm in my fourth year of membership for this CSA and it's great. I get the freshest veggies and…read morefruit ever (fresher than what I've gotten at the farmers' market!) delivered locally to the Forest Hills Jewish Center. The amount of veggies and fruit delivered is likely too much for a single person like me so I split my share with a friend (or two). What I've loved is learning about new produce and supporting local farmers. I now am pretty expert at cooking with kale (hated it at first), garlic scapes, kohlrabi, celeriac, purslane and so much more. The farm we support believes in producing hearty, healthy, organic veggies and you'll see loads of them in the deliveries each week. The CSA gets produce delivered from Golden Earthworm Organic Farm on LI, fruit and berries from Briermere Farms on LI, grains/four/amazing beans from Cayuga Organics near Ithaca NY and then usually another farm for garlic, cheeses and jams that are offered during the season. Since the pick-ups are at the FHJC, all of the items are kosher. Sign-up is only during March/April and then the season starts just after Memorial Day and runs through the week of Thanksgiving (26 weeks - weekly pick-up). There is also a winter season with root veggies that runs from Dec-March where the pick-ups are every three weeks with more carrots than you might know what to do with (make Carrot Candy -- great recipe from Mark Bittman that I swear by). Overally, a wonderfully run CSA and I'm glad to to be a member. This year, you can pay for your share by PayPal (so I guess they sort of accept credit cards too).

    I was wondering: green market vs a CSA? Since the Forest Hills greenmarket and Tuv Ha'Aretz CSA…read moreare in the same location, it really came down to cost and choice. You have to sign up and pay in advance for the whole season, usually in the spring. I emailed tuv@fhjc.org to get on their list and to inquire about availability before my first year as a CSA member. Volunteering is required (help at share pick-ups, newsletter writing, deliver unclaimed shares to the food bank, unload the delivery truck, events, etc.) keeps the costs of the shares down; I have been part of a CSA where volunteering was not required, and it costs over double what I pay at Tuv Ha'Aretz, so it's well worth the pay-back of volunteering for a few hours. In terms of cost, the CSA wins -- at about $25 a week, it's a bargain. For the same amount of vegetables, I can pay about $40 at the greenmarket. In addition, I enjoy playing a version of "Iron Chef" against myself -- use up all the vegetables and fruit we get (after all, wasting the vegetables is a waste of money, too). They're chosen by the farmers, so the delivery is often a surprise and an education when we get things we haven't cooked with or eaten before. I've learned to prep and love purslane, for example. And I've learned that some dishes -- for instance, like spanakopita -- are about anything which can be called "greens" -- chard, herbs, onion tops, turnip tops, carrot leaves, kale, lettuces, etc. -- and not just spinach; so, it's become my go-to for masses of greens and herbs when they are producing heavily. With a CSA, you get a share of what the farmer is growing every week for half the year from June to November. This CSA gets its shares from an organic-certified farm (Golden Earthworm); the fruit is minimally sprayed -- pests make this the reality of trees and fruit bushes in our locale. In contrast, the farmers' market allows you to pick and choose among what's available: organic vs non, choice of produce, etc. My cooking has changed, and I feel more attuned to the seasons since joining this CSA. The separate winter share is, as expected, less exciting and varied, but that's the reality of winter vegetables and I've become more creative and open about how I cook and feed my family and friends throughout the year. For instance, too many squashes? I make ravioli, risotto, potstickers, shepherd's pie, halvah, chili, etc. We live in Queens, considered the most culturally diverse county in the country, so we have a lot of inspiration to use "what's in the box" every week. At ~$25 a week, I can afford to supplement from the greenmarket if there is truly something else I want in my kitchen and table. And I really love that I don't have to garden to get amazingly fresh and vibrant produce.

It's also one block away from Travers Park which was recently updated. Great place to go for a stroll and enjoy. Happy shops!
