Tuv Ha’Aretz represents

by Sarah Rose · December 18th, 2006

America, Eco-Kashrut, Jewish Culture, News

Tuv Ha’Aretz gets a shoutout from the Chicago Tribune, “Organic kosher winning converts”.

Jews have a long tradition of thinking deeply about what the community should be eating, said Leah Koenig, coordinator of Tuv Ha’Aretz, an organization with sites on the East Coast, in Washington and Houston, which links synagogues and organic farms.

“In many ways, we’re expanding on the idea of keeping kosher,” she said. “Not by any means to replace it, but to think about what does it really mean for food to be fit in the 21st Century?”

I am really enjoying your thoughtful blog! I began reading “The End of Food” this summer, and besides being a kosher-keeping mom, I’ve always been a label-reader and skeptic of “big food.” It’s terrific that you are bringing it all together in one place. Keep up the great work.
