Central Synagogue was proud to partner with Free Bird Farm for the past five years in hosting a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program. As we aim to be very deliberate about how we are spending our time and our resources, and engaging our members deeply and meaningfully in exploring their Jewish lives, Central’s leaders have had to make choices about where to focus our efforts and have decided to discontinue the CSA program this year. However, we strongly encourage members to continue supporting the Free Bird Farm’s CSA program through one of their local New York sites.
