We're part of a very powerful food movement of change agents working towards ethically sourced and meaningful nourishment. Thank you for helping make this CSA successful and now visible to the entire Philadelphia Jewish community. We are on the cutting edge, so get your fork and sign up for another season of the CSA before registration closes (payment plans available)!

Does the food movement have potential to reinvigorate Jewish life? That& #39;s the question that Lila Corwin Berman, associate professor of history and director of the Feinstein Center at Temple Unive

A great story teller, urban farmer, educator and local activist. He'll be at the Liberty, Food, and Justice For All: Hazon Philadelphia Food Festival. Will you be there?

Through out my activity in the sustainability movement, and my writings on it, I feel that I have always maintained a fairly moderate perspective. Sure, I’ve experimented with the more “alternative” sides of sustainability like communal living, sustenance farming, and even washing clothes in my bath...

Last year we went to the farm we support and planted garlic from the previous year's harvest. This year we ate said planted garlic, and in this picture is CSA member Brian is cracking heads of garlic to send back to the farm to be planted for next year's harvest! Que music.... "the circle of liiiiiifffeeeeeee (produce)!"

Have you joined the CSA for 2014? Registration ENDS the last day of Hanukkah (just after the CSA season ends). Get your share NOW and lock in this year's rates before they go up in November. Next season starts in June, but you can't participate unless you register in advance of the season (if you're new to this concept, that's how Community Supported Agriculture works)! Looking forward to sharing with you.

Beets,
Center City CSA (a program of Cafe Olam and Rodeph Shalom)

CSA Family!

Thank you to everyone that has come out to help cook during CSA pickup on Wednesdays. Soom Foods is helping us do a fundraiser for the supplemental food we purchase.

Reserve your goodie bag, which includes Soom Foods tehina, honey sticks, a wooden Soom spoon and a Jewish New Year greeting, all wrapped up in a gift bag, and Soom Foods will donate a major chunk of the proceeds to this Tzedakah Box initiative which is feeding people in our community that are in need of a meal and maybe a visit, while also supporting ethical & sustainable food and farms.

This is an initiative of Rodeph Shalom, Center City CSA and Cafe Olam, and most recently Tribe12 has joined the team!

Get one or more, and then spread the love please! It makes a great New Years gift, and an even better "I'm sorry" gift leading up to Yom Kippur. :o)
