Open Farm Day

Once again, we are pleased to invite our clientele and friends to take part in a Chubeza Sukkot tradition, a personal “pilgrimage” to our Open Day in the field. This year the festivities are scheduled to take place on Monday, September 27, the 19 of Tishrei (fourth day of Chol Hamoed), between 11:00 AM -4:00 PM. To those of you who haven’t yet attended, the Open Day provides a chance to meet, tour the fields, and nosh on vegetables and other delicacies. We have special activities for the children, including tours designed for little feet and curious minds, arts and crafts, exercises and a wide-open space to run free. Please see updated directions to the farm.

With our best wishes for a Chag Sameach and a blessed New Year,  from all of us to all of you. We look forward to welcoming you to Chubeza and greeting you in person!

On the night before Rosh Hashana, I gave birth to our third daughter, Talya. In her honor I am taking a break from Newsletter writing this week. We will meet again next week with our annual pre-Sukkot “agricultural introspection.”

And a special message from the Chubeza team: Mazal tov Bat-Ami! May Talya be blessed with 120 happy, healthy, inquisitive and exciting years. And may you and your family enjoy many more s’machot always! ______________________________________________
