For the 2nd year, Etz Chayim—Adath’s Environmental Initiative – is partnering with Easy Bean Farm and farmer Mike Jacobs in Milan, Minnesota, as a Hazon CSA to bring fresh vegetables to members who purchase farm shares. In 2008, Karen Yashar heard about the Hazon CSA program from Penny Schumacher, who has run the Hazon CSA in St. Paul since 2006. In 2009, the second Hazon CSA in the state of Minnesota was started at Adath Jeshurun Congregation in Minnetonka, MN.

Farmer Mike writes, “As a great lover of food and the many ways it can bring us together I felt that I needed to do something to the change our food system for the better. So, on our little farm, in our little way, we have found the frayed edges and we have begun the mitzvah of mending.”
