PriHaEmek- Bounty of the Valley

The Pri HaEmek- Bounty of the Valley CSA is a project of Temple Beth-El in Poughkeepsie, but is open to the entire Dutchess County community. The CSA partners with Lineage Farm in Copake, New York. The distribution of fresh vegetables grown with organic practices takes place at Temple Beth-El on Grand Avenue every Thursday from 4-6:30pm. Distribution is from June for 20 weeks. Members receive the fresh vegetables harvested that week. Pri HaEmek is volunteer run by its members. The goal of the CSA is to provide its members with vegetables grown with organic practices, help sustain local farming and to uphold the Jewish values of concern for the environment and granting charity shares to families in the community. In addition, the CSA delivers weekly leftovers to the Lunch Box.
