From our friends at the Jewish Farm School,  an environmental education organization whose mission is to practice and promote sustainable agriculture and to support food systems rooted in justice and Jewish traditions.

Eden Village Camp (EVC) and the Jewish Farm School (JFS) are thrilled to announce the creation of the Eden Village Farm, a 2-acre educational farm that will be a central component of Eden Village Camp. EVC is a new Jewish summer camp with a focus on environmentalism, social justice and spirituality. The farm will be a laboratory for creative and meaningful educational experiences, connecting Jewish agricultural laws to contemporary environmental and food justice issues. The farm will also host programs and volunteer events in the spring and fall.

We are currently looking to fill the following positions.

Farm Manager
Eden Village Camp and the Jewish Farm School seek an experienced farmer to design, implement and manage a new organic and educational farm. The farm will be on 2 acres of land that has been an open field for many years. The focus in year one will be designing educational elements into the farm, building soil fertility, producing food for the campers, staff and off-season programs, and helping to develop a long term vision for the farm. The Farm Manager will work alongside the Lead Farm Educator and Farm Interns and will oversee all operations of the Farm.

Farm Interns/Counselors
Eden Village Camp and the Jewish Farm School seek 2 Farm Interns/Counselors. The internship begins in April and runs through October and offers a unique and varied experience. Throughout the season interns will be trained in organic farming, Permaculture, forest gardening, Jewish agricultural laws, natural building and experiential education. In the summer interns will work as farm counselors for Eden Village Camp and will continue to work on the farm and serve as educators for programs in the fall.
