Halal Pastures: Where Faith “Meats” Family Farming

People are hungry, for good, responsibly raised food.
I was hungry, for a connection to land that fed my spirit and my body. So, two years ago, I made my home in Chester, NY, a small town steeped in agricultural heritage, sitting in the black dirt region of Orange County.
I knew about the vibrant farming community when I moved there, but had no idea I’d stumble upon a farm, and farm family, that so beautifully brought together ethical and spiritual food production.
I had a chance to spend some time with Diane Aboushi, who with her husband, Samer Saleh, own Halal Pastures farm, an organic halal family farm in nearby Rock Tavern, NY.
