Mission and About Us

Israeli Harvest is a small company with a unique story - we are farmers supporting farmers. Behind the company are two organic farmers, Tanya Tolchin and Scott Hertzberg, who have a great love for Israel and concern for the preservation of its farmland.

For a decade, we have grown vegetables on our small Maryland farm called Jug Bay Market Garden. We market our produce through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) subscription program and started Israeli Harvest because we believe Israeli farmers can benefit from similar creative ways to connect farmers with loyal, supportive customers.  

Israeli Harvest's mission is to support farming in Israel by providing our customers with exceptional natural Israeli farm products.  Like American farmers, Israeli farmers struggle to make a living and farmland is being converted to housing at a fast pace. They need steady support to keep farming during these challenging times.  Currently farmers produce with the hope that they will have a buyer for their harvest. Israeli Harvest helps take some of the risk out of farming in Israel by placing orders with farmers far in advance of the harvest season.
