Local Organic Food at the J!
Year Four...

What is Hazon or a CSA?
A Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program allows you to pre-purchase a share of a farmer's produce for an entire growing season. The CSA guarantees the farmer a secure market and gives community individuals, like you, access to local, fresh, organic produce at competitive prices, while helping to preserve farmland and build community. Multiple pick-up times and locations throughout the city are available. Season begins the first week of June and ends the final week of October.

Why is it important?

• Enables you to live a more healthy and safe lifestyle by eating locally grown organic food
• Participation helps to support local organic farms
• Promotes awareness of environmental issues in the Jewish community
• Assists needy families gain access to healthy organic produce

What do you get?

• Four servings of six different vegetables each week
• A rolling cooler for easy transportation to and from the J each week
• The ability to split shares - either purchase a share and receive veggies every other week, or split with a partner!
