Shmita Reflections and Connections

Join us to celebrate and reflect on this past Shmita year in community! We will learn together from guest teacher, Justin Goldstein, and have an opportunity to share what this past year has been like. Whether you set aside a small community garden bed or 5 acres of your farm, we would love to hear about your experience engaging with this ancient yet visionary practice!

While this program is geared towards participants of JFN's Shmita Plots, it is open to all! 🌻
