What is Tuv Ha’Aretz?
Tuv Ha’Aretz members buy shares in Chubby Bunny and Adamah farms and get weekly deliveries of healthy, local, mostly organic produce at competitive prices, while supporting a farmer and building community. Tuv Ha’Aretz expands our understanding of what it means for food to be kosher—not only “fit” for us, but “fit” for the Earth as well.

Why should I join?
Tuv Ha’Aretz puts purchasing power behind local farmers. In 2008, 1300 households in 19 sites across the U.S. and Canada contributed over $500,000 to their local farmers incomes. The program also educates the Jewish community around issues of sustainable agriculture, and inspires Jews to think more deeply and broadly about their food choices. Tuv Ha’Aretz sites host education programs for adults and families such as cooking demos, farm trips, and Beit Midrash study sessions.
