The Farm

Judaism has its roots in an ancient agrarian society and many of the values and holidays evolved from that foundation. The farm is an invaluable teaching tool to demonstrate the connections between judaism and the environment, social and food justice, and calendar-related festivals.

Jewish retreats, and other mission-driven conferences, workshops, meetings, and courses: our goal is to provide an affordable, warm, and welcoming hospitality environment for non-profit jewish, faith-based, and secular organizations in order to help them accomplish their educational, religious AND/OR community-building goals.

Passover

Each year we hold a special passover program that runs for 10 days. Many of our guests are elderly and can no longer do all the cooking and cleaning the holiday requires. We provide the religious service, the sedars, many classes and family programming.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
