WELCOME TO THE “IMMUNE BOOSTER” (Week 9) SHARE!

As many of you know we did not have an exact idea of what would happen when the coronavirus hit our community and how we ourselves would be directly affected.  Now more than ever, Americans are waking up to the critical importance of having small and mid-scale diversified farmers to feed them. Resilience of any ecological or economic system is based on diversity as well as a community of support.  One aspect of this is the message that we are strongest when we work together. Through the Immune Booster CSA, local farmers and food businesses have been banding together for the good of the local community and to keep each other economically afloat.  
After a successful launching of the Immune Booster CSA during the first few months of the pandemic, we have found that this weekly multi food business CSA share has been extremely appreciated and is still very needed right now. On the other hand our 18-week Summer CSA season is about to begin in just 2 weeks and is sold out (as are most other CSA’s in the area). It grew rapidly with over 100 sign ups during the month of March due to an overwhelming onslaught of support that we did not expect. The summer season is what we look forward to all winter, and it becomes extremely busy for us working in the fields, going to markets, and attending to the needs of our summer members.  We have been continuously brainstorming about how we can fulfill the need for more food for our community in safe ways, but with very little extra time, and we have come up with a possible solution.  
We have decided to offer the continuation of the weekly Immune Booster CSA, but under the leadership of two dedicated and excited Tantre Farm crew, Ryan Poe and Peter Ways, who are taking it over, but with Tantre support.  Ryan, manager, grew up on a self-sustaining farm, earning his pennies for the first 15 years of his life growing and selling fruits and vegetables on his family’s roadside stand. He is an avid world traveler and appreciates good, clean food.  He also worked his way up from Farmer to Produce Director at a local organic farm just outside of Ann Arbor.  Peter Ways is a retired educator and volunteer business consultant to Tantre Farm. He’ll be involved and supporting Ryan until the new Immune Booster Share is fully launched.
Many things will remain the same with this new Immune Booster CSA, such as registrations will still take place every Monday until Wednesday and distribution will continue to be on Saturdays from 9 AM until 12 PM.  One difference in order to streamline the logistics of organizing and distributing your share, is that all pickups will be at the Washtenaw Food Hub in Ann Arbor, and all payments will be done online with PayPal to eliminate the hours spent recording checks and Venmo and the delay of payments being deposited on a weekly basis.
The new Immune Booster share will always contain a consistent and delicious variety of local salad greens, mixed vegetables, ready-made goodies, sweet treats with the occasional bonus item mixed in. We will wear masks and gloves and follow national and international food handling guidelines regarding the pandemic. Vegan and gluten-free shares are available upon request.  Ryan and Peter will be there to greet you with a smile and hand you your carefully packed box with a curbside flourish.  Stay posted for their  Sunday evening email broadcasts that will highlight items lined up for each new week’s Immune Booster Share, or find our updated posts on the Tantre Farm website.  
Next week is the launch of our first “new and improved” Immune Booster share and it will  contain several surprises in it.  Here are a few hints that maybe in next week’s box, so see if you can guess what they may be:  What is thick, brown, and syrupy that comes from a tree?  What can be cold, velvety, and vegan all at the same time?  What brings to mind the fresh aroma of the Mediterranean and summer in a pot?  What is a spear that only is available in the spring?
Ryan and Peter look forward to hearing your weekly feedback on the shares and hope that you will continue to be involved.  They also welcome suggestions on how to improve or offer new ideas of other local businesses, who are local sourcing.  Some folks might also be interested in supplementing their Summer CSA with this weekly share, and truly rarely will need to enter a grocery store during this pandemic time if they join both CSA’s. Please contact Ryan and Peter with questions or comments at immuneboosterbytantre@gmail.com.
It is with our dedicated mission of “Stronger Farmers, Stronger Community, and Stronger Earth” that we bring you this week’s food of the season with the collaboration of our good friends at Garden Works Organic Farm, the Brinery, Ginger Deli, Zingerman’s Creamery, Second Spring Farm, Goetz Family Farm, Harvest Kitchen and Raterman Bread.  As always thank you to our hardworking crew of Donn, John, Peter, Annie, Andy, Geoff, Jbird, Ryan, Chizo, Karis, Shaunna,  and new interns Hannah, Leo, Andrew, Jacob, and Ro, who continue to pull these shares together for you!  Also, if by some chance you notice that you are missing items from your share at any time, please let us know, since sometimes we make mistakes, because of the long day.  We can usually substitute something else or sometimes the same thing the following week if needed, so just let us know.
**PLEASE READ THIS!!  We will be distributing your share in 1 box that is 1-1/9 bushel.  Due to concern about contamination from the coronavirus, we are asking for you to take and keep the box at home for now, except for those of you willing to drop your boxes off at the Food Hub or the Farm.  We definitely are hoping that you can return them to us sooner or later.  Please ask for assistance, if you need any help in loading your share, and it is especially helpful if you are patient and kind with our volunteers as you wait your turn to be checked off for curbside pick up of the boxes. This is a time, like no other, to slow down and be as understanding as possible.  We will let you know if we are missing your payment some time soon.  If you paid with PayPal or Venmo, you are all set.  You may drop off checks and cash (only in a labeled envelope) at the Food Hub and the Farm and place in our labeled Payment Bag.  
Please give Deb a courtesy email/text/call at 734-385-6748, if you can’t make it to your scheduled Distribution Site on time, so we know what your situation is, so that we don’t have to track you down. More storage tips can be found on our website under CSA Info>Veggie Id or Recipes>Produce Information Organized by Parts of the Plant.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for supporting your local farmers and local food artisans as we travel together on this journey of health and mindfulness as we continue to face a myriad of unknowns in the coming days.  Also, if you have time to support or thank the businesses that helped provide us with so many convenient Pick Up Locations during these past 9 weeks, please express your gratitude to ROOSROAST and the WASHTENAW FOOD HUB in Ann Arbor, PURE PASTURES in Plymouth, and AGRICOLE FARM STOP in Chelsea.  We are happy that we may continue to feed you and keep you healthy with so many wonderful partners in our community.  We wish you safe passage as we strengthen our immune systems with good local food and hopes for a happy spring!              
–Deb and Richard

CURRIED GREENS AND POTATOES (from Eating Well is the Best Revenge by Marian Burros)  Serves 2
1 lb (16 oz) potatoes, cut into bite size pieces
1 bag mixed greens (mustard, collard, kale, turnip, beet, dandelion)
1 or more clove(s) of garlic (1 or 2 stems of green garlic)
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/4 (or less) teaspoon hot pepper flakes or the Brinery’s Hot Sauce
2 cups canned, crushed, no salt tomatoes

Scrub, but do not peel potatoes.  Boil or steam for 17-20 minutes until tender.  Trim tough stems from greens, wash well, tear or slice into small pieces.  Mince garlic: use a 1/2 teaspoon of salt to help mincing.  Heat oil in pan, add greens and garlic.  When greens begin to soften, add spices and tomatoes, reduce heat and continue to cook.  Drain potatoes and cut into bite size pieces.  Add to the greens and continue to cook over low heat to blend flavors.  
Note: Choose any combination of greens and serve with Raterman’s sourdough bread.  

MUSTARD GREENS WITH GINGER AND HOT PEPPER (from Mad Mares Cookbook)
2 Tbsp sesame oil
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 lb Goetz’s mixed greens, washed, drained, and cut into strips
3 cloves garlic, minced (1 bunch green garlic, chopped)
1 Tbsp fresh hot pepper, finely minced or the Brinery’s Hot Sauce
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced
2 Tbsp vinegar
1 Tbsp honey
Salt and pepper, to taste

In wok or large pan, combine oils over high heat, but do not allow to smoke.  Add greens and stir briskly for 1 minute or until color changes to bright green.  Add garlic, pepper, and ginger; stir and cook another 30 seconds.  Add vinegar and honey.  Remove from heat and combine well.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

SPINACH MASHED POTATOES (https://feedmephoebe.com/spinach-mashed-potatoes/)
2 pounds potatoes, peeled and diced
10 ounces spinach
1/2 cup vegetable or chicken stock
Sea salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 15 minutes. Fold in the spinach and cook for an additional minute. Drain the potato mixture and return to the pot along with ¼ cup stock, 1 teaspoon salt, and the oil. With a fork or masher, smash the potatoes until semi-smooth. Add more liquid if the potatoes seem too thick and dry. Fold in the butter and taste for seasoning.

WARM SPINACH SALAD WITH ARUGULA (from Mad Mares Cookbook)
1  bag spinach  
4 Tbsp vinegar      
2 cup arugula leaves (or Goetz’s Mixed Greens)
2 tsp sugar
4 Tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
3/4 lb mushrooms, sliced
1/3 cup toasted nuts
4 scallions or green garlic
1/3 cup feta cheese (or try Zingerman’s Bridgewater Cheese)
Prepare arugula and spinach.  Heat oil and saute mushrooms and scallions until scallions have softened.  Add vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, stirring until heated through.  Pour the mixture immediately over the arugula and spinach.  Sprinkle with nuts and crumbled feta cheese.

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH GREEN GARLIC CREAM SAUCE (from www.chow.com)
2 Tbsp unsalted butter (1/4 stick)
1/2 medium yellow onion, small dice
1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp minced green garlic (white and light green parts only)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 lb angel hair pasta
1 lb asparagus (about 1 bunch), woody ends removed and thinly sliced on the bias
12 oz sugar snap peas, strings removed and thinly sliced on the bias (about 3 1/2 cups)

Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over high heat.  Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until foaming.  Add the onion and 1/4 cup of the garlic.  Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender but not browned, about 5 minutes.  Add the cream and bring to a boil.  Immediately reduce the heat to low and simmer until the onion is completely tender and the flavors have infused the cream, about 5 minutes.  Taste and season with more salt and pepper as needed. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.  Add the pasta and vegetables to the boiling water.  Boil, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the pasta is cooked all the way through, about 4-5 minutes.  Reserve 3/4 cup of the pasta water.  Drain the pasta and vegetables and return them to the pot.  Add the reserved cream sauce, remaining 2 tablespoons garlic, and 1/2 cup of the pasta water.  Toss to coat the pasta and vegetables, adding more pasta water by the tablespoonful as needed to reach the desired consistency.  Taste and season with more salt and pepper as needed; serve immediately or add some Brinery Hot Sauce for an added zing!

CARROT SOUP WITH NORTH AFRICAN SPICES (from Fields of Greens)  Makes 9-10 cups
5 cups light vegetable stock
10 thin coins of ginger
1 Tbsp light olive oil
1 medium size yellow onion, thinly sliced, about 1 ½ cups

2 lbs carrots, thinly sliced, about 1 cup
1 medium size sweet potato, peeled and thinly sliced, about 1 cup
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup creme fraiche
2 Tbsp coarsely chopped cilantro

Make the stock and keep it warm over low heat.  Heat the olive oil in a soup pot and add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt.  Saute over medium heat until it begins to release its juices, about 5 minutes.  Add the garlic, cumin, coriander, ginger and a few pinches of cayenne.  Cook until the onion is very soft, about 10 minutes, adding a little stock if it sticks to the pan.  Add the carrots, the potato or sweet potato, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 quart stock.  Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer until carrots are very tender, about 15 minutes.  Puree the soup in a blender or food processor until smooth, using a little extra stock if needed.  Return to the pot, add the orange juice and thin with stock to the desired consistency.  Season with salt to taste; for additional heat a pinch or two of cayenne.   Garnish each serving with a swirl of creme fraiche and sprinkle with cilantro.  This dish may pair nicely with Ginger Deli’s Spinach Rice dish.
