Jewish Farmer Blog and Wiki

We are very interested in the stories of American Jews who live on farms today or did so in the past. Recently we started a Blog where we write about the subject and a Wiki website where other people can tell their stories and put photographs online.  The blog is called the Jewish Farmer and the Wiki is called the Federation of Jewish Farmers of America. 

We run a separate blog related to our farm in Maryland, The Jug Bay Gleaner.

Below are links to websites of American and Israeli organizations involved in promoting farming and farmland preservation. But first another nice picture from a kibbutz.
