Thanksgiving is a perfect time to gather with family and friends to reflect on the past year and give thanks. Along with watching football, attending the Thanksgiving Parade, and sharing a delicious meal, many of us also express gratitude for our loved ones on this special day.

In celebrating everything were thankful for, its also important to honor the Earth. Our beautiful planet provides the food in our Thanksgiving feast and sustains us all in multiple ways. As youre planning holiday festivities this year, be sure to follow these simple tips for hosting a sustainable Thanksgiving.

Display Natural Holiday Dcor

During the fall, the trees burst with a rich display of gold, amber, and deep red leaves. You can bring some of that beauty indoors, by dressing up your Thanksgiving gathering with natural dcor.

Instead of using plastic, paper, or synthetic decorations, spruce up your space with corn husks, colorful leaves, pumpkins, and gourds. Any or all of these items could make a gorgeous centerpiece on the table, create a cozy kitchen scene, or dress up your entryway.

Serve Dinner on Your Favorite Dishes

Theres no better time to use your favorite dishes and serving pieces than for Thanksgiving dinner. Using family heirlooms or your own china and stoneware makes the holiday a little more special. Its also a sustainable alternative to serving food on disposable paper and plastic plates, bowls, and utensils. Taking this small step helps reduce landfill waste that can end up in the ocean and harm marine life.

Make Sustainable Menu Choices

Buying your Thanksgiving menu items from a local farm helps support rural communities and local agriculture. Plus, organic food is grown with less harmful pesticides, so its better for the planet.

If possible, visit your local farmers market to make organic menu selections. Popular Thanksgiving foods you can find at the market include corn, squash, potatoes, pumpkins and apples for pie, and more.

If a farm is too far away or you plan to shop at the grocery store, be sure to look for organic labels and purchase accordingly.

Help Reduce Food Waste

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, about 1.3 billion tons of food for human consumption gets wasted each year.

To help combat this terrible loss, there are lots of ways to reduce waste at your Thanksgiving meal. For instance, as you make a shopping list, dont over-buy items that can quickly spoil, like produce. Instead, follow recipes closely and buy just enough food and ingredients for the number of people you are hosting.

Furthermore, serve small amounts instead of large portions to your guests. Adopting a less is more rule helps ensure plates arent piled with uneaten food. After all, people can always go back for a second helping!

Properly Store, Eat and Share Leftovers

Most people look forward to a turkey sandwich or another delicious meal the day after Thanksgiving. Properly storing and eating as many leftovers as you can also help reduce waste.

When storing leftovers, plastic baggies, plastic wrap, and aluminum foil only add to overcrowded landfills. Therefore, packing food in washable, reusable storage containers is always the eco-friendliest option.

Furthermore, Food Network offers great food safety tips for storing, freezing and using leftover food. In general, you should pack up and refrigerate uneaten food within two hours after a meal and leftovers will stay good in the fridge for up to four days. Anything left past these timeframes should be tossed.

Also, look online or check out cookbooks to find recipes that will help you enjoy Thanksgiving food in tasty new ways after the holiday. You can also share leftovers by giving extra portions to family and friends to take home.

Compost Food Scraps

Finally, be sure to compost any food scraps you have during meal prep or after your dinner. Composting not only helps enrich the soil, but it also limits greenhouse gas emissions, helps curb plant disease, limits fertilizer use, and reduces waste. Use this guide from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for helpful tips about composting food scraps at home.

#1Thing: How to Host a Sustainable Thanksgiving - WCBS 880

Published 9:03pm CST, Tuesday, November 26, 2019

Brent Heironimus and his father, Steve Heironimus, made their way through the covered growing houses on Donnas Farm in Fannett on Tuesday as they continued to harvest the multitude of organic produce grown within for todays pre-Thanksgiving market sale.

The pair pulled radishes, several varieties of turnips, spinach and more. This morning, the harvest will continue with beans, cabbage, broccoli, herbs all of which will be washed and bundled in time for the 3 p.m. opening of the stand at the farm.

The familys first pre-Thanksgiving market plans were almost dashed when their farm was filled with more than a foot of water during Tropical Depression Imeldas flooding two months ago. They lost all their cucumbers, green beans and tomatoes, but somehow, miraculously, Steve said, the broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage all survived.

Steve recalls walking through the grounds, surveying the flooding that stretched around them as far as the eye could see and the damage it had caused.

The ducks loved it, he said. They were just floating around, dropping their eggs as they swam.

He said he collected the fresh eggs from beneath the clear water.

As the flooding receded, they began replanting the crops that were lost, and leafy pole beans and cucumbers quickly grew again, yielding a harvest just in time to see their holiday plans come to fruition.

Donnas Farm, which survived a near tragedy in Imelda, was born 8 years ago in the midst of an incident also nearly tragic.

Donna fell ill with food poisoning while on a trip to California with Steve. Her condition worsened dramatically as the illness sparked a flare-up of a dormant staph infection from a previous health problem.

The infection sprang up in the artificial heart valve shed gotten years before and almost turned septic. The couple was stuck for three months in California, where she remained hospitalized.

When they returned to their home in rural Fannett, Steves unattended construction business had suffered, and Donna still required constant home care while continuing to recover. Steve, whose father had always kept a garden while growing up in Central Texas, decided to start a garden of his own as something to do while caring for his wife.

He was joined later by son Brent, who had graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in New York. Together they learned about organic farming from the internet, YouTube tutorials and advice from other produce farmers, tailoring their knowledge to the climate of Southeast Texas, and eventually establishing a stable growing cycle.

They built covered houses within which to grow their produce, which gave much-needed protection from the damaging effects of wind, rain and insects.

They now have three, with another in the building process and designs for more to follow. In all, they plan to have eight houses amounting to an acre-and-a-half of covered growing space.

Fruit orchards and a farm-to-table restaurant are also part of the familys long-term plans for the 8-acre property as they continue to grow and find success as organic farmers.

Their produce already can be found in several area restaurants, including Monicas, J. Wilsons and Gathering: A Paleo Cafe in Mid-county.

Brent said they have also reached out to other area farmers, some of whom will contribute items to todays market sale.

They would like Donnas Farm to become a buy local, farm-to-table that offers year-round market sales from area farmers to augment the existing seasonal farmers market in Beaumont.

Those who would like to augment their traditional turkey and dressing with locally grown organic produce and herbs can visit the farm at 11073 Koelemay Drive in Fannett from 3 - 8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 27.

Donnas Farm brings organic produce to Thanksgiving tables - Beaumont Enterprise

Researchers have described the first outbreak of Salmonella in Sweden that had small tomatoes as the likely source of infection.

Eighty-two cases of monophasic Salmonella Typhimurium have been confirmed, with symptom onsets between Aug. 28 and Oct. 29. They were 51 years of age on average, with a range of a few months to 89 years old. The majority were female. Patients lived in 12 of 21 counties in Sweden, with most in the south-western part of the country. Two more people fell ill on Nov. 13 and an investigation into their exposures is ongoing.

A case control study suggested small tomatoes as the outbreak source and a traceback investigation led to a producer in Europe. Results from the investigations are pending.

Salmonella outbreaks traced to tomatoes are rare in Europe, with the only other one being an outbreak of Salmonella Strathcona caused by datterino tomatoes in Denmark in 2011. This is despite tomatoes being a known source of Salmonella outbreaks in the United States.

Link to organic tomatoes The results from this investigation highlight the importance of considering vegetables as a possible vector of pathogens traditionally thought to be associated with animal products. Despite not being able to sample the implicated batches of tomatoes for analysis of Salmonella, the epidemiological link to small tomatoes was strong, said researchers in the journal Eurosurveillance.

Our subset analysis suggested that small organic tomatoes specifically might be the main source, but organic tomatoes only explained 60 percent of cases. This discrepancy could be explained by recall bias or by contamination of small non-organic tomatoes at the producer.

In September, public health authorities in Jnkping told the Public Health Agency of Sweden (Folkhlsomyndigheten) of five domestic cases of Salmonella with no obvious epidemiological connection in the previous two days. All illnesses had been caused by an unusual Salmonella strain phenotypically shown to be hydrogen sulfide negative on traditional growth agar medium, i.e. the characteristic black pigmentation of the colonies was lacking.

The next day, officials in Vstra Gtaland reported a sixfold increase in domestic Salmonella group B cases compared with the same period in the past four years. One day later, a small cluster of seven monophasic Salmonella Typhimurium ST3478 cases was found among isolates from across the country.

They were identified as part of the routine microbial surveillance program where all isolates of Salmonella from domestic infection are sent to the Public Health Agency of Sweden for typing using whole genome sequencing (WGS). By Sept. 17, the cluster had grown to 27 isolates and an outbreak was declared at national level, with an investigation started to identify the source of infection.

Infections may have gone unnoticed ST3478 is rare in Europe but only Sweden was affected in this large outbreak. Based on responses from nine countries, the specific sequence type had only been seen in the past in a few sporadic cases.

One possibility could be that just a few batches were contaminated and all of them were sent to Sweden. Another possibility is that because the strain lacked the black pigmentation on traditional growth agar medium, it could have been missed in other countries. Countries should be aware that this ST in combination with its unusual phenotypic feature (hydrogen sulfide negative) could go unnoticed on traditional growth agar medium because of the lack of black pigmentation, said researchers.

A total of 40 cases responded to the trawling questionnaire and 38 had eaten tomatoes within the incubation period, and at least seven reported the same type and brand. Although incubation time can be six to 72 hours for Salmonella, it can range from 12 to 192 hours in Salmonella Typhimurium outbreaks.

Response rates to the case-control study questionnaires were 45 of 71 among cases and 328 of 384 among controls. Small tomatoes, grilled chicken and shopping at a certain store belonging to a nationwide food retailer owning different chains, were associated with being a case.

Grilled chicken was not considered to be a true risk factor for being a case in our outbreak as the exposure among cases was low. In addition, the chicken is grilled directly in the supermarket and it would be unlikely that supermarkets from across the country undercooked and improperly stored their grilled chicken over the same time period, said researchers.

All small organic tomatoes sold at the retail stores were delivered by one wholesaler in Sweden and sold under a private label. Deliveries at the end of August and beginning of September showed product was produced and packed by one company in an EU country.

Tomatoes bought by patients within a few days before symptom onset likely came from either or both of two deliveries arriving in Sweden on Aug. 24 and 27. No leftover small tomatoes available from patients households were from these deliveries. Two samples from other deliveries were negative for Salmonella spp. There was no recall because tomatoes from the implicated deliveries were no longer on the market.

LANCASTER,N.Y. (WKBW) After a recent study highlighted the fact that toxic metals are often found in store-bought baby food, many parents have had questions about what's involved in making food for their kids.

The study by HealthyBabyFood.org found much of the baby food sold in stores contains toxic metals. The website tested 168 foods from major manufacturers, and found that 95% of them contained toxins, including lead, arsenic and mercury. You can read more about the study here.

After 7 Eyewitness News posted the story last month, many parents began talking about making their own food, and finding out what was involved in it. Baby's Sweet Beginnings in Lancaster offers Homemade Baby Food classes taught by Lisa Wyzykowski. She says, she doesn't judge parents for choosing to make or not make their own food, but she's done a lot of research on the topic and shows parents how to make it work for them.

"We talk about organic versus non-organic foods, we go over guidelines of storing the food, freezing the food, when you take it out to thaw it," she explained.

Wyzykowski teaches the class every couple of months, and says it's often full of parents who want to learn the best way to make food, and also hear more about how they can save money doing it. Jessica Ball took the class when she was considering making food for her son, Henry.

"We were doing a lot of research with prices on baby food, and everything inside baby food, and we just decided it would be more cost-effective, it would be healthier, and it would just be an easier choice for our family," she said.

Once she took the class, she was confident in her ability to prepare and freeze the food, and also learned how to fit it into her schedule. Wyzykowski suggests picking one day to make big batches for your baby.

"Picking one night to do it, to make several foods, will get you through several weeks," she explained.

"I kind of picked one day a month where I was going to be doing everything," echoed Ball. "It did take me a couple of hours, but then I was good for the whole month."

Today, Henry is 15-months-old, and eating solid foods, but Ball did make all of his baby food. She says it's something other moms might want to consider, once they learn the best ways to do it.

You can learn more about the classes, or sign up for them here, on the Baby's Sweet Beginnings website.

A new grocery store has opened in downtown Hartford.

The Hartford Food Market opened Monday morning at the corner of Main Street and Central Row.

The owners of the market are offering customers a wide array of choices, including fresh fruits and vegetables, boxed and organic foods, a buffet, juice bar and grill serving up hot and cold food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The family of eight brothers saw an opportunity in downtown Hartford because of the location and the limited grocery options in the area, so they brought their business from New York and decided to give Hartford a chance.

Were so happy because right now it looks like were doing good. It looks like its going to work for us here, said Nassar Alkutainy, the owner.

This is the second grocery store to open in the area in the last three years.

New Grocery Store Opens in Downtown Hartford - NBC Connecticut

NEW YORK Walmart Inc., wary of Amazon.com Inc.s encroachment into the grocery space, is revamping the produce department in its U.S. stores.

The nations biggest grocer will widen aisles, make fruit and vegetable bins more visible and consolidate organic items in one spot, it said in a blog post Wednesday. The renovations, dubbed Produce 2.0, will be in 800 Supercenters by the end of January and in about 3,000 stores, including smaller format Neighborhood Markets, by the end of next summer.

The changes follow earlier improvements Walmart made to the quality and assortment of its produce, a key category for food retailers and one where Walmarts offering has historically failed to dazzle shoppers.

We knew we were not meeting customers expectations for quality, so we went to work on that a few years ago, Charles Redfield, Walmarts Executive Vice President of U.S. Food, said in an interview. Now that were comfortable with that, were ready to change the look and feel of the department.

Produce can make or break a grocer. Its the most lucrative fresh product category besides meat, and shoppers buying fruits and vegetables spend 55% more on their trips, according to data tracker Nielsen. Thats increasingly important to Walmart as Amazon ventures further into perishable food, having recently eliminated the additional fee for fresh grocery delivery for its Prime members. Other rivals, like dollar stores, also offer more produce nowadays.

Walmart said last week that sales of fresh food were particularly strong last quarter, and groceries have helped to fuel 21 consecutive quarters of same-store sales increases in its home market.

Redfield said the revamped departments will have as much as 15% more space in the aisles.

The company generates 56% of its U.S. sales from groceries, and takes in more than 20 cents of every dollar spent on food in the U.S. One area of focus has been organic produce, sales of which reached $1.5 billion in the third quarter, according to the United Fresh Produce Association.
