Programs
The ultimate, long-term vision of the Jewish Farm School is to manage a small-scale, sustainable farm and run on-site educational programs. As we work toward this goal, the Jewish Farm School currently runs a variety of short-term educational programs.

Multi-Day Workshops: The Jewish Farm School runs multi-day workshops in organic agriculture, educational gardening, ecological design and natural building. These workshops are designed for educators and laypeople, Jews and non-Jews. Workshops can be customized to the needs of an individual institution or group of people.
Short-Term Programs: The Jewish Farm School runs farm-based, short-term programs ranging from 3 to 21 days designed uniquely for high schools and college groups. These programs include farm work, natural building workshops, text study and discussion, and leadership development. These programs may fulfill community service requirements.
Conferences and Lectures: Interested in the connections between Judaism and agriculture? Organizing a conference or event? Consider hiring one of our educators to present on topics ranging from urban sustainability to the agricultural roots of the Jewish calendar.
