CSA members know plenty well what Community-Supported Agriculture tastes like – but what does local, organic food look like from week to week over the course of a season? Middle-schooler and Tuv Ha’Aretz Philadelphia member, Maya Kassutto, took on photographing her CSA distribution as part of her Bat Mitzvah project. As “staff photographers,” she and her father, Zach, documented the people and produce that add flavor to Congregation Kol Ami’s parking lot every week.

Below, find a photo journal of their work – a mouth-watering tribute to the season-in-progress. (Prepare to be impressed by this 13-year olds serious photography skills!)

Welcome to the CSA! No eggs this week, but plenty to enjoy.

Springtime asparagus flecked with purple.

This week we got two whole pints of strawberries.

Radishes add a splash of color to the weekly share.

A perfect peach – organic, sweet, and delicious.

Mini plums are perfect for kids like me.

This green pepper almost looks like a face.

The eggs are very good. They come from free range, organically fed chickens.

Here’s a typical weekly share – packed up and ready to go!

Up next for Maya: squash, potatoes, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes…
