In addition to being the Catholic Chaplain for the NY Jets for the past 13 years, Monsignor Jim has hosted the nationally syndicated radio show, Religion & Rock, for over 21 years. He is also a cookbook author, and hosts three programs on Telecare: Good News, Everyday Faith Live, and Real Food. On Real Food, he focuses on the family table and the joy that preparing food brings to those who share it together, while stressing the importance of using locally grown foods. 

Homecoming Farm is a three-acre NOFA NY LLC certified organic farm located on the land of the Sisters of St. Dominic of Amityville.  They grow beautiful organic vegetables, herbs and flowers for their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) members and the guests of The Interfaith Nutrition Network (The INN).  Last year, we donated over 3,000 lbs. of their farm-fresh, organic vegetables, flowers, and herbs to The INN. The emphasis at Homecoming Farm is on organic farm practices, sustainability and community.

Homecoming Farm is a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of St. Dominic of Amityville.  They are committed to the belief that the human and natural world is one community of life.  They believe that when we care for the Earth, we care for ourselves, each other, and future generations while creating sustainable communities.
