FLOUR, BEANS

& WHOLE GRAINS

The Evolution and Importance of Whole Grains

Grains have long been a staple in the human diet. However the way in which humans eat grain has changed greatly over time. To understand this change one must first understand grains themselves. A kernel of grain, for example a wheat berry, consists of three layers. The outer layer of the grain is called the bran and its purpose is to be a tough shell to protect the seed; the bran contains fiber and B vitamins. The largest interior layer is called the endosperm and its purpose is to provide food to the seed. The endosperm is the main ingredient of processed white flour, containing carbohydrates and protein. The germ of the whole grain is the part of the seed that will develop into a new grain plant. The germ is rich in vitamins, minerals, and unsaturated oils. Grains are now mostly bought as flour, pasta or cereal. Often, the grains are processed by sifting to remove the germ and the bran which contain the most nutrients and fiber. The germ and bran are removed because they contain oil that can go rancid without refrigeration. Therefore, if you remove the germ and bran you increase the shelf life. Eating whole grains increases the amount of the bran and germ you are consuming. Fresh ground flours that have not been sifted contain 100% of the whole grain (the endosperm, germ, and bran). The Harvard School of Public Health states, “that returning to whole grains and other less-processed sources of carbohydrates improves health in myriad ways.” The noted health benefits include reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. The increase in fiber also improves digestive health. Whole grains can easily be incorporated into your diet. For fresh grains consider purchasing a small grain mill for your kitchen or locating a natural foods store that will grind the grain fresh for you. It may take some tweaking, but begin substituting the fresh whole grain flour in all of your favorite recipes!

WINE

WINE Did you know that more wine grapes are grown in Yates County than in any other county east of the Rocky Mountains? It’s true, and the abundance of wineries testifies to the quality of soils along Canandaigua, Keuka, and Seneca Lakes. Each of these lakes has its own ‘Wine Trail’, a route that takes visitors from winery to winery. Special events are common along the trails. They are held regularly and sport a variety of themes. Visit www.uncorkny.com for information regarding the events and wine opportunities in Yates County.

FARMERS’ MARKETS 27

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

PENN YAN

What is a C.S.A.? C.S.A.’s are a popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal produce directly from local farmers.

How does it work? Farmers participating offer shares of the farm’s harvest to the public for a set amount of money at the beginning of the season. In return the ‘shareholder’ will receive their share of the produce weekly throughout the duration of the harvest season. Other products may be available, such as eggs and bread, depending on what the farmer has to offer. Pick up points will be assigned either at the farm or a local retail store.

How do I get involved? Call the local C.S.A.’s listed below or visit www.localharvest.org to find out if C.S.A. is right for you. Under C.S.A. tab you will find more information on C.S.A.’s, tips for new subscribers, questions to ask farmers and more. To subscribe, search for C.S.A.’s in your area under the Shop tab. You will find that farm policies and products vary. Some farms offer, or require, a certain number of hours of work per week, sometimes at a reduced share cost.

Advantages for consumers: 

Extremely fresh food with all the flavor and vitamin benefits.



Broadening your experience with vegetables and new ways of cooking, as well as expanding your knowledge of how food is grown and all the hard work that goes into it.

PRESERVING SUPPLIES

CANNING

& PRESERVING SUPPLIES

CANNING & 30

FOOD PRESERVATION There are many ways to preserve foods. The most common are canning, freezing, and drying. The method you choose depends on what food you are planning to preserve, how much it will cost, and the intended use for the food afterwards. The Yates County Local Food Guide gives a quick guide to the most common ways but the full reference can be found in the Cooperative Extension of the University of Georgia’s book, So Easy To Preserve, on the National Center for Home Food Preservation website, www.uga.edu/nchfp, or by calling CCE of Yates County at (315) 536-5123.

CANNING Canning is a safe method of preservation, if done properly, that destroys microorganisms and inactivates enzymes that would normally cause foods to spoil. The process involves placing foods in jars or cans and heating them, driving the air from the jar and creating a vacuum seal as it cools. This vacuum seal prevents air and microorganisms from getting into the jar to prevent recontamination of the food. Through the years, home canning methods and techniques are constantly tested and improved to assure the safest, most effective way of processing food. Older recipes should be exchanged for the latest, up-to-date, research-based recipes from reliable resources recommended by Cornell Cooperative Extension.

CANNING METHODS Boiling Water Bath

Pressure Canner

This method processes food at a boiling temperature and is recommended for high acid foods like fruits, tomatoes, pickles, and relishes as well as jams, jellies, preserves, and butters.

This method processes food under pressure at temperatures higher than boiling and is the only safe method for processing low acid foods like vegetables, meat, poultry, and fish.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Fill canner hall full with clean hot water and preheat to 140°F for raw-packed food or 180°F for hot-packed food. Load filled jars, fitted with lids, into the canner at once using a jar lifter. Add more boiling water so the water level is at least 1 inch above the jars. Place lid on canner and bring water to a gentle boil. The duration of boiling time depends on the food being processed. See recommended resources above. When the recommended time is complete, turn off the heat, remove canner lid and let sit for 5 min. Use the jar lifter to remove the jars one at time, and let cool down on a towel undisturbed from 12 to 24 hours.

1.

Place the filled jars on the rack and 2-3 inches of hot water in the canner centered over the burner. 2. Fasten the lid and leave the weight off the ventport or open the petcock. 3. Bring the water to a boil and let the steam flow for 10 minutes over high heat. 4. After the venting, close the petcock, or place the gauge on the ventport. 5. Once the recommended pressure is reached, adjust the heat to maintain a constant pressure, and start the processing time. 6. When the time is completed, remove the canner from the heat, let the canner cool down and depressurize. 7. After it is depressurized, open the petcock or remove the weight from the ventport, wait 10 minutes, and remove the lid carefully. 8. Remove the jars and place them on dry towels, leaving 1 inch of space between each jar. 9. Let them cool down from 12 to 24 hours (pg. 29-39, GA book)

FOOD PRESERVATION: CANNING 31

Drying is a very simple way to preserve food. This process removes the moisture so that bacteria, yeast, and molds cannot grow and also slows down the action of enzymes. Foods can be dried in the sun, in an oven, or in a food dehydrator. Drying does not change the caloric or fiber content of the food. Significant amounts of vitamin A, C, and B are retained although they are considerably less than those found in fresh foods.

FOOD DEHYDRATING  

This method uses a small electric appliance that dries food fast at 140°f and can be used to dry fruit and meat. Place the food on the trays and set the timer for the recommended time for the food being dried.

OVEN DRYING     

This method can be used for drying meat jerkies, fruit leathers, banana chips, and produce like celery and mushrooms. It takes twice as long as a food dehydrator and may be an inconvenience if the oven is needed for cooking. Make sure you can set your oven as low as 140°F so you are able to dry the foods instead of cook them. Place foods on cooling racks positioned on top of cookie sheets to encourage circulation. Leave the door open about 2 to 6 inches for circulation. Place an oven thermometer near the food to have an accurate reading of 140°F.

ROOM DRYING    

This method takes place in a well-ventilated attic, room, or screened-in-porch. Herbs and peppers can be hung from string either in a bundle or line and suspended. It is recommended to cover them with a paper bag poked with holes to allow for air circulation while protecting against dust and other pollutants. Nuts can be spread on papers a single layer thick. Partially sun dried fruits should be left on their drying trays.

FOOD PRESERVATION: DRYING 32

Freezing is one of the simplest, most convenient, and least time consuming methods of food preservation. This method retains natural flavors and tastes more like fresh food. While it does not sterilize foods, it slows the growth of microorganisms and chemical changes that cause foods to spoil. Foods that have undergone the proper freezing process and are consumed within a year have a nutrient value equal to or greater than food preserved by any other method.

FREEZING FRUITS   

FREEZING VEGETABLES    

Select fully ripe, fresh fruit. Store in refrigerator until ready to freeze. Wash in cold water then peel, trim, cut, and package in portions for intended use.

Can be stored for 8-12 months.

FREEZING MEATS

 steam fruit until hot– varies with fruit  best used with fruit that will be cooked before use



        

Select high quality fresh meats. Trim excess fat. Cut for intended use. To wrap, use either: Freezer paper, ‘drugstore wrap’, or ‘butcher wrap’. Freezer bags– fold out all the air. Separate pieces with 2 layers of freezer paper or wrap with separation. Serve after being cooked from frozen or defrosted state. If defrosting, defrost in the refrigerator. Storage time varies with meat but never exceeds 12 months.

As you drive through Yates County, keep a look out for the following signs that symbolize various programs or organizations. Each sign represents a given recognition or certification that farmers are able to receive for various practices on their farms.

Agricultural Environmental Management Program (AEM)

New York Farm Bureau “To Serve and Strengthen Agriculture” This non-governmental, volunteer organization is financed and controlled by member families for the purpose of solving economic and public policy issues challenging the agricultural industry. http://www.nyfb.org/

AEM is a voluntary, incentive-based program. Farmers make common-sense, cost effective, and science-based decisions to help meet business objectives while protecting and conserving the State’s natural resources. http://www.nys-soilandwater.org/aem/

Beef Quality Assurance

Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA)

The national BQA Program was initiated in 1987 to provide cattle farmers and ranchers with science based management practices that enhance carcass quality and beef safety and improve animal care. BQA works to protect consumer confidence in our beef supply and to return more profits to producers. Participation in the program is voluntary. BQA principals influence the management practices of more than 90 percent of cattle. http://www.nybeef.org/bqa.aspx

NOFA-NY is the oldest and largest organization in New York dedicated to organic and sustainable farming and gardening. It is comprised of consumers, gardeners, and farmers who promote land stewardship, organic food production, and local marketing through demonstrations, and education. http://www.nofany.org/

Dairy of Distinction

Organic Certification

This award is part of the Northeast Dairy Farm Beautification Program that recognizes the hard work and dedication of dairy owners/operators who have attractive, well-kept farms and promote a good dairy industry image. http://www.dairyofdistinction.com/

Defined by the USDA, organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations. Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals that are not given antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides, fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients, sewage sludge, and have not been exposed to bioengineering or ionizing radiation. http://www.usda.gov/

Farmer’s Pledge

Pride of New York

This was created by NOFA-NY for both certified and uncertified organic farmers. Pledge Farmers agree to reduce food miles, use ethical business practices, pay a living wage to farm workers, and cooperate with others to create a more sustainable way of life. The difference between certified organic and signing the pledge is that the certification process includes third party verification of farm practices where as signing the pledge does not. http://www.nofany.org/farmers-pledge

This program promotes and supports the sale of agricultural products grown and food products processed within NYS. It includes farmers, processors, retailers, distributors, restaurants, and related culinary associations all working together to bring you wholesome, quality NYS products. http://www.prideofny.com

“The best food is what’s grown closest to you.”

Local Food Promotes Variety

Local Food Tastes Better

Yates County is blessed to have an amazing diversity of agricultural products. It is just a matter of walking out your front door to find everything from produce, meat, dairy, grains, dry beans, wine, cider and so much more!

Local foods can be harvested at the peak of ripeness because they do not need to travel as far to the consumer. Foods lose nutrient value and taste the longer they sit on the shelf. By working with your local farmer, you can fill your refrigerator and freezer with the freshest products Yates County has to offer!

Local Food Supports The Local Economy

Local Food Benefits the Environment and Wildlife

The money that is spent with local farmers and growers all stays close to home and is reinvested with businesses and services in your community.

Well-managed farms provide ecosystem services: they conserve fertile soil, protect water sources, and sequester carbon from the atmosphere. The farm environment is a patchwork of fields, meadows, woods, ponds and buildings that provide habitat for wildlife in our communities.

Local Food Preserves Open Space Do you enjoy visiting the countryside where you see lush fields of crops, meadows of wildflowers, picturesque barns and rolling pastures? Our treasured agricultural landscape survives only when farms are financially viable. By spending your money on locally grown food, you’re increasing the value of the land to the farmer and making development less likely.

Local Food Is An Investment In The Future By supporting local farmers today, you are helping to ensure that there will be farms in your community tomorrow. That is a matter of importance for food security, especially in light of an uncertain energy future and our current reliance on fossil fuels to produce, package, distribute and store food.

Local Food Promotes a Safer Food Supply The more steps there are between you and your food’s source, the more chances there are for contamination. Food grown in distant locations has the potential for food safety issues at harvesting, washing, shipping and distribution.
