Let's talk about ancestral agricultural wisdom—yours and mine. Jewish Farmer Network is having our first annual conference February 13-16, 2020, at the Pearlstone Center near Baltimore, MD. Cultivating Culture: A Gathering of Jewish Farmers will bring together the community of Jews engaged in agriculture for the first time in over a century to grow relationships and learn how our ancestral agricultural wisdom can support the thriving of a just world for all.
