Tikvat Israel CSA

By: Dalit Baranoff (Jan 21, 2009)
My family joined the CSA last year for both the spring/summer and fall seasons. We also received a dozen eggs every week. (The eggs are produced by free-range hens who have been specially segregated from the roosters just for our group - so the eggs won't be fertilized and rendered non-kosher).

I enjoy cooking and the variety of fresh vegetables (some of which I had never bought before) gave me the opportunity to discover wonderful new recipes -- many of them shared by other CSA members. I never knew I liked swiss chard before last summer, and now it is one of my favorite vegetables. Once the fall season ended I really missed getting the box every week.

In addition, I participated in a number of "community" events sponsored by the CSA, including helping to prepare a Shabbat lunch (where the farmer spoke) and a cooking class, both using ingredients from the farm.

I have visited Calvert Farm twice and I am very impressed with the way Pam farms.

I would recommend this CSA to everyone!
