Why does a Kosher Farmer need a thorough knowledge of kashrus in the kitchen?
Kashrus, the laws that govern food production in the kitchen really begin in the garden. Kashrus knowledge can be adapted to many situations, including those in the field.
A thorough knowledge of insects helps the Kosher Farmer identify what areas of the plant will contain the most pests. He or she knows all the insects in the garden because most of them are forbidden for consumption.
Kosher Farmers are working with the bugs in the garden before they make their way into the kitchen. The Kosher Farmer works to maintain the proper balance of all insects so that the garden is harmonious.
When cleaning the produce in the kitchen the insects can be removed quickly and effectively since the Kosher Farmer knows what to look for and where to look for it.
A Kosher Farmer who thinks with the proper perspective can see both the good and the bad working harmoniously in the plant beds.
The Kosher Farmer works with nature and not against it.
