Hear from our Jewish Farmers

"This was my first time at a Jewish Farmer Network event and I'm unbelievably grateful that I found this community. Connecting with Jewish farmers and ranchers is filling a part of me that I didn't even know I was missing."

"It was amazing to be able to understand the Jewish agrarian past a bit better. That when we go back to the land we are continuing a tradition that goes back to our ancestors."

"It is so powerful to be in a space that centers the work of Jewish farming, rather than it being something peripheral or weird. It is enlivening and supportive to be among my people"
