Alternative Kosher Cooperatives

Here are three alternative kosher distributors, all using the csa
(cooperative) model:

Kolfoods.com

Mitzvahmeat.com

Kosherconscience.com

As an extension of our Tuv Ha'aretz CSA program, RSNS has just partnered with Mitzvah Meat, so our members can order grass-fed, free- range kosher meat from a local NY farm, delivered to our synagogue in time for Rosh Hashanah!

If you're not in the DC or NY area, you may be out of luck for now, but if you go to the Kol Foods site, there might be some information about how to start your own supply chain, based on this model!

best,
Cantor Eric Schulmiller
