Goronson Farm Reveals Plans to Grow Kosher, Certified-Organic Etrogs in Maine
Goronson Farm in Scarborough, Maine plans to increase cultivation of the biblical fruit known as Etrogim. The bumpy yellow, fragrant flesh makes distinctly flavored jams, jellies, pies & etrogcello. Used for Sukkot, it is grown according to the ancient Halakha Agricultural laws.
- (1888PressRelease) February 27, 2024 - What is an etrog, you ask? Etrogs are a fruit of great historical significance. They are a citron (similar to, but not the same as, a lemon) with yellow, bumpy, very fragrant flesh. Many believe this to be the original Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden.
Currently, the only etrogs imported to Maine are all highly pesticided and are not fit for human consumption. “We intend to change that by growing certified-organic, certified-Kosher fruit for our communities,” said Maureen Goronson, owner of Goronson Farm.
Goronson Farm is a small, certified-organic farm in Maine specializing in rare fruit and flowers. It is also home to Wooden House Winery.
