Monthly Disabled Jewish Farmers Call

DJF has been growing for ~2 years now and it's been a little while since we had more intentional space to plan and check in! This meeting, we will reflect on how the group is going, how we want to lead and structure ourselves, and what we might want to do together as we head into winter. Guided by Sonia, Ollie, and Liel we will discuss a proposal for co-stewardship of the group moving forward.

General Description:

Calling all Disabled Jewish Farmers! We'd love for you to join our community of disabled (or crip, Deaf***, mad, mentally ill, neurodivergent, chronic pain, chronically ill, etc) folks to gush and kvell** at our magic while sharing what it’s like to be a farmer (or to *want* to be a farmer) as disabled people—the woes, frustrations, victories, and connections we have with the land. We gather monthly with rotating facilitators and would love for you to join our next call! 🌸

***ASL interpretation is not currently provided, but we welcome signers to join with VRS interpreters. If ASL interpretation would enable you to participate, email us ASAP at liel@jewishfarmernetwork.org so we can arrange for interpretation. These meetings have automated closed captions. We are committed to finding ways to meet each other's access needs.

**kvell is a Yiddish word for feeling or expressing pride and/or delight

Please email liel@jewishfarmernetwork.org with any questions, access needs, or to talk about facilitating a future call. Anyone can facilitate, and that includes you!

We've also added an option to make a donation to Jewish Farmer Network along with your RSVP. A donation is NEVER required to attend any of our events, but if you are able to contribute, it helps support JFN in compensating facilitators, paying content contributors, and supporting JFN's other programming.
