Mission: Urban Adamah (“earth” in Hebrew) is a community organic farm and Jewish environmental education center located in Berkeley, CA. Our farm is run by groups of young adults who participate in a three-month residential leadership training program called the Urban Adamah Fellowship. The Fellowship integrates urban organic farming, direct social justice work and progressive Jewish living and learning. Urban Adamah Fellows operate the farm, teach educational programs to farm visitors, and serve as interns at local community organizations that address issues of poverty and food security. Twelve Urban Adamah fellows are selected each spring, summer and fall to participate in the Urban Adamah Fellowship. All produce grown on our farm is distributed to members of the community in need primarily through local food banks and our own Free Food farm stand.
