Company description
The Adamah Jewish Farming Fellowship is an invitation to join our lives: to work the fields with us, to play with our kids, sing our ancient compost chant, hear our passionate invitation to DIY culture and raw milk, and taste our sourdough challah. Come spend a few months on a small New England farm nestled in our all-stream Jewish Retreat Center. We farm on 10 acres of fields, orchards, and pasture in Falls Village, Connecticut. In addition to our farm being certified Organic, we use sustainable practices such as crop rotation, cover cropping, composting, drip irrigation, creating habitat for pollinators, and growing a diverse mix of perennials and annuals. In addition to growing fresh veggies all season long, we are busy preserving the harvest by making delicious value added products. We use the ancient art of lactofermentation- a pickling method that simply uses salt. Our certified organic pickles, krauts, kimchi, dilly beans, hot sauce, and other ferments are alive, pro-biotic, and an important part of a healthy diet. Our organic jams are made in small-batches to preserve the quality and flavor of the fruit. We also make maple syrup, herbal salve, and lip balm!
