THE GANN FARM
Growing a vibrant, climate-resilient Jewish community from the ground up.
Gann Academy’s Jewish farm is a space that facilitates transformative experiences, renewing our shared connection to Jewish tradition and the earth.
NEW OPPORTUNITY!
The Gann Farm heeds the call of our tradition, “Hadesh Yameynu keKedem,” (Lamentations 5:21), “renew our lives as in days of old,” by growing a connected, thriving, and earth-based Jewish community.
IN CLASS ON THE FARM
Many of Gann’s classes utilize the farm during the year. For example, biology classes use the farm to investigate plant growth and the carbon cycle. Zman Kodesh groups discover that Jewish tradition lives not only in books but also in the deep roots and stretching stems of the plants we grow, in our bodies as we work to bring forth the earth’s abundance, and in our souls as we connect with each other in sacred community, and Gann Food Services cooks fresh food straight off the farm.
