Keeping kosher

Believing that people should be more connected to their food sources, Riverdale resident Andy Kastner has set out to slaughter his own food in the kosher tradition. His efforts were documented in a New York Times article about “the ethical-kashrut movement.”
The story says he's part of a “nascent Jewish food movement” which, it says, intersects with the sustainable-food movement.
The Times reports that Mr. Kastner has been trying to set up a grass-fed-kosher-meat co-op and that Maya Shetreat-Klein, a 34-year-old pediatric neurologist who also lives in Riverdale, has a new co-op, Mitzvah Meat.
