Aitan is moving on and two lively apprentices are taking his place—they introduce themselves in the following blog post. Visiting the goats is one of the greatest parts about Isabella Freedman—we hope to see you there at the New York Ride & Retreat and at the Food Conference. (Registration is now open!)

By Stephen A. Sherman and Glenn Katz

QuotationsAitan Mizrahi lifted up Schlomo in both arms. The tip of the man’s pitch-black beard brushed the buckling’s back, which was equally dark.

“Okay, it’s time to pass the buck,” he said…

Healthy, Sustainable Passover Resources

[Image: Photo Alt]Passover is the Jewish tradition’s “eat seasonal” poster child. Also known as “Chag Ha-Matzot” (possibly a holiday celebrating the new barley harvest) and Chag Ha-Aviv (“holiday of spring”), Passover is a time to notice and celebrate the coming of spring. The seder plate abounds with seasonal symbols: the roasted lamb bone celebrates lambs born in spring; karpas (the dipped green vegetable) symbolizes the first green sprouts peaking out of the thawed ground; and a roasted egg recalls fertility and rebirth.

Passover offers a perfect opportunity to combine the wisdom of a traditional Jewish holiday with our contemporary desire to live with our health and sustainability in mind.
