5th Annual JFS Seminar in Organic Agriculture and Educational Gardening

June 7-10, 2010, Cold Spring, NY

The Jewish Farm School is excited to run our 5th annual 4-day seminar in Organic Agriculture and Educational Gardening as a track of the Teva Learning Center’s Seminar on Jewish Environmental Education. This seminar is intended for informal educators seeking to integrate farming or gardening into their work.

Seminar Highlights:

• Learn the skills to build your own Jewish garden: work side by side with professionals to construct an edible garden on-site, unearthing the various elements that make it Jewish.
  
• Visit our new farm at Eden Village Camp, meet the farmers, sink your hands into the soil and learn what it takes to start a Jewish educational farm.
• Study traditional Jewish texts and contemporary scholarship, examining how major agricultural themes have developed over time and where they stand in today's society.
• Discuss educational curriculum and experiential activities to use within a wide range of teaching environments.
