Los Angeles

Sinai Temple's involvement in Tuv HaAretz began with our Rabbi's vision for the synagogue. Rabbi David Wolpe wrote in regards to this, "Kashrut is the Jewish expression of our stewardship of the earth... this [joining Tuv HaAretz] is our synagogue's attempt to fulfill the ethical underpinning of the mitzvot." Rabbi Ehud Sela, also at Sinai Temple, found our farmer at a farmer's market - Phil McGrath was the only one there who had heard of a CSA - and the project was then taken up by Sinai's Green Committee.

Registration is now OPEN for the 2009 season.

McGrath Family Farm: “Phil McGrath”

In essence, it is a mutually beneficial arrangement, where in exchange for your commitment to buy a share in our farm’s harvest, we commit to grow exceptionally high quality vegetables, herbs and fruit, and deliver a bountiful portion of it to you every week of the season. Become a member of our CSA program and every week from April to December you will receive a share of fresh, organically grown, in season produce delivered to a convenient location in your neighborhood or ready for pick up at the farm. We are located 55 miles north of Los Angeles and 7 miles from the coast which creates a Mediterranean type climate for growing year round. With this tremendous advantage our goal is to grow as many things as possible in a season. We grow everything from strawberries and baby vegetables to legumes and flowers. This is not only attractive to our customers, but it is also advantageous to our sustainable growing methods of crop diversity and rotation.

This direct partnership between consumer and farmer is beneficial for everyone. Your produce is fresher and it is organically grown. This means it is healthier for you, for the agriculture workers/growers, and the environment. We take great pride in supplying our customers with the freshest organic fruits and vegetables available. Most all of our products are picked the same day they are delivered and nothing is ever over 24 hours old. We strongly encourage you to visit our farm and look forward to doing business with you.
