Jews in the Field

"Jews in the Field" celebrates the diverse stories of modern Jewish farmers, highlighting how their Jewish and farming identities intersect and diverge. Each episode will feature candid conversations with farmers in our network, exploring their experiences, challenges, and the ways their unique constellation of identities influences their work. Through these stories, we aim to cultivate a deeper understanding of Jewish life in agriculture and the vibrant community that grows from it. Many Jewish farmers are the only Jew in their given farming community or the only farmer in their given Jewish community. Sharing these stories dispels the notion that these farmers are alone in the world while offering “models and opportunities for how to actualize [their] Jewishness going forward.”

Looking for guests who are Jewish farmers eager to share how their heritage and agricultural practices intertwine, creating unique stories and challenges within predominantly non-Jewish farming communities or Jewish communities unfamiliar with farming.
