were going in the wrong direction as a
community of Jews,” Tabor said. “What’s
this heritage about? Where’s it coming
from? Why don’t we dig deeper?”
On the Farm
Tabor started farming in Pennsylvania in
the early 1970s as part of the “Diaspora
kibbutz” movement, helping create a
communal farm with Jewish activists
from Washington, D.C., who wanted to
escape the bleak political scene during
the height of the Vietnam War.

“It was the time of communes,” Tabor
said. “The war didn’t want to seem to
end, no matter what we did, and there
was an attempt to look at other avenues
for resolving our mental and existential
distress.” Tabor decamped to the foothills of
the Appalachian Mountains and set
about creating a sustainable community.

The group wrote to the Baron de Hirsch
Society, which helped develop Jewish
agriculture in pre-state Israel, for advice,
and sought guidance from a handful of
similar communities in New Jersey. In
the end, it was a short-lived effort kept
afloat with funds from Tabor’s side job as
a columnist in the Jewish press and paid
speaking engagements.

“We didn’t know how to make a living
farming,” Tabor said.

But Tabor stayed, struggling through a
series of lean years to build what is now a
successful fruit and vegetable operation.
