"Know the great reality, the richness of existence that you always encounter. Contemplate its grandeur, its beauty, its precision, its harmony. Be attached to the legions of living things who are constantly bringing forth everything beautiful."
-Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook

The CSA pick up will run for approximately 20 weeks, beginning in the first week of June and going through the end of October, weather and season dependent.
Pick up will take place on Thursdays from 4:00-6:00 pm in the Agudas Achim parking lot.
