Our Sites
As we work towards the creation of our own permanent sites, the Jewish Farm School currently partners with numerous farms around the country who play host to our programs. This collaboration allows our participants to benefit from working with established and experienced farmers and for the host sites to benefit from the labor we provide through our programs.
Below you will find links and information about many of the sites we use.
Putnam Valley, NY
Eden Village Camp (EVC) and the Jewish Farm School (JFS) are thrilled to announce the creation of the Farm at Eden Village, a 2-acre educational farm that will be a central component of Eden Village Camp. EVC is a new Jewish summer camp with a focus on environmentalism, social justice and spirituality. The farm will be a laboratory for creative and meaningful educational experiences, connecting Jewish agricultural laws to contemporary environmental and food justice issues. The farm will also host programs and volunteer events in the spring and fall.

Philadelphia, PA
Preston’s Paradise started a few years ago when some neighbors were sitting around admiring the fine work they’d accomplished on Preston Street in West Philadelphia. “This is like paradise!” And so, now we’re official and taking our collective energy into the streets to spread that feeling on every block. Our primary goal is to assist groups of neighbors in increasing their own self-sufficiency. Why wait for larger systems of power to do what we can do for ourselves? We know what we want better than they do anyways.
Hudson Valley, NY
Common Ground Farm is a farm project that serves our community as an educational model for people of all ages to learn how foods grow, how to raise ecologically sound crops without chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides, and how to keep farmland healthy for generations to come. As a working farm, we strive to interpret anew agricultural experience and tradition that is a precious part of our nation's heritage.
Pauma Valley, CA
