TEMPLE ISRAEL PARTNERS WITH BUCKLE FARM TO OFFER CSA SHARES

If winter’s here, could spring and then summer be far behind? And when they arrive, Temple Israel will be hosting it’s first-ever CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) to congregants. In order to make this happen, though, we need 40 families to sign up by february 29 and hope that you will consider becoming one of the inaugural members of this exciting new offering. By doing so, you will be able to enjoy fresh fruits and healthy vegetables from mid-June until late October and will also be supporting a working family farm.

TI’s CSA comes from the Buckle Farm, owned by Jim Buckle and Hannah Hamilton. Buckle Farm is a small, diversified fruit and vegetable farm located in Unity, Maine. The duo farm on 16 acres of protected farmland comprised of apple, plum and pear orchard and open of fields of vegetable, herb and flower production. Most of the land is organic, and all of the land is expected to be certified organic by 2017. Having previously farmed in Massachusetts, The Buckle Farm delivers much of its produce to homes, markets and restaurants in the Boston area. CSA shares have been an important aspect in The Buckle Farm’s success, and Jim & Hannah are happy to partner with Temple Israel to bring a CSA delivery to our community this summer. Brochures are available at the front desk. To learn more visit www.tisrael.org/green-team or call or email Joan Rachlin at 617-872-0167 or rachlinj@ aol.com.
